Sometimes you have to step OUT of the business to work ON the business. For two days, the U.S. Christian Chamber of Commerce’s leadership team stepped away from the daily pace and into the Smoky Mountains for some serious work.

Strategy. Structure. Priorities. Accountability. The hard conversations. The big opportunities. And a whole lot of whiteboard.

The team is sharpening the sword and building the organizational infrastructure needed for where USCCC is going next — because vision without structure eventually hits a ceiling, and USCCC has no intention of stopping there.

A huge thank you goes to Jason Quint with EOS for facilitating two incredibly productive days and helping the team get above the day-to-day so they could work on the organization instead of simply in it. And thank you to Stephanie and Ben for providing such a beautiful place to think, pray, wrestle, plan, and prepare for what’s ahead.

Apparently, word got out that it was an important strategy session because even a black bear from the Smokies tried to attend. The team didn’t give him a seat at the leadership table — but they did take it as confirmation that USCCC is on the move.

“Vision without structure eventually hits a ceiling — and we have no intention of stopping there.”

There is a lot happening behind the scenes right now. USCCC is building for the next level — for its members, and for the future of Christian business. And it’s just getting started.
