Mistakes are Your Best Chance for Wow

Описание: 🎯 Mistakes will happen. What matters is how your church recovers.



In this episode of Church Staff Book Club_, we explore Chapter 6 of _The Come Back Effect and talk about one of the most overlooked aspects of hospitality: how you respond when something goes wrong. From check-in meltdowns to crying babies in service, coffee spills, seating issues, and missed expectations, the question isn’t if mistakes will happen, it’s how prepared your team is to respond with empathy and warmth.



----------------------------------------



🎙️ You’ll learn:



Why recovery is an emotional skill, not just a logistical fix
How to empower volunteers to act without always needing a manager
The difference between solving a problem and addressing a feeling
Why silence or inaction ruins trust faster than the mistake itself
How celebrating “off-script” hero moments builds a recovery culture
What to say when a guest is frustrated and how to still win them back





----------------------------------------



🙌 Whether you’re a pastor, team leader, or volunteer, this episode is packed with real-life stories, actionable ideas, and powerful reframes that will help you create wow moments even when things go sideways.
