  Mcgowan search

  Feb 2017 - Jan 2018

  President & c.o.o.

  When Does a Search Committee Need a Consultant?An increasing number of churches are using consultants to assist them in finding their next pastor. Good questions are often raised as that decision is being made. The best and most legitimate question related to this issue has to do with “when” is it wise and desirable for a local church search committee to seek the services of a consultant. Five suggestions come to mind in response to that question:1. When the Search Committee that has been elected has few if any members who have ever had any experience in searching for a pastor, it is a very positive move for the services of a consultant be sought. 2. When you have little confidence in your denominational leadership to offer unbiased assistance to the committee as they seek highly qualified candidates to consider. Lots of congregations find themselves dramatically out of sync with the theological and programmatic direction of their denomination. 3. When your deepest concern is to find the candidate that most perfectly fits the personality, values, and direction of your church. The motto of McGowan Search is “to assist the local church find the very best fit to be their next pastor”.4. When you are not deeply connected to a denominational structure, the local church would greatly benefit from having a carefully-chosen consultant to help. The most fruitful source for finding highly qualified candidates is networking within the larger body of Christ.5. When a committee desires to be highly efficient with regard to their use of time and financial resources they would be wise to carefully choose a consultant with a proven track record of success. Most consultants bring a large reservoir of experience that results in financial efficiency and sharp focus for the local church search committee. Show less

  Visus partners, llc

  Jan 2018 - Dec 2019

  President & founder

  What is Visus? vīsus ūs, a looking, look, act of seeing, power of sight, vision. From a Latin word for the 'act of seeing' or 'vision' Visus Partners does precisely what our name implies- we help our partners to look deeply into the mirror to see who they really are— core strengths, opportunities, values, challenges and presuppositions. Organizational and corporate self-awareness is key to the successful execution of any strategy, plan or vision for any organization.After more than 20 years working with non-profits and for-profits our founder, Jean Larroux, worked and looked behind the scenes at multi-million dollar organizations and endeavors that were still sketched out on napkins. In all of them the more clearly the vision was aligned with the strengths of the organization the more successful they were at sustaining their passion. That is true for churches, manufacturers, non-profits and educational institutions.Who are your really? Are you willing to answer that question honestly? If you can be honest with yourself and if you are willing to invest yourself in your areas of greatest affinity and ability you will exponentially increase your impact.Visus is driven by one primary principle: If you will take an honest look in the mirror before gazing out the window of opportunity before you it will shape how you proceed, why you proceed and the legacy you leave in the rearview mirror!
