Take Centered Leadership Part 2

The second in our suite of Leadership Development Courses, Centered Leadership Part 2: Leading in Systems is designed for people who are brand-new to leadership or have been a leader for decades. This course is ideal for your leadership team to develop a common language and enable you to lead toward health and vitality.

We will explore:

  • dynamics of the interconnection of human relationships in congregations
  • how congregations can develop ways of developing the collective creative and emotional intelligence of the members as a system
  • how your own sense of purpose and your centered presence can have a positive impact
  • how a shared sense of purpose and group emotional intelligence can unleash creative synergy
  • how to reflect on your own spiritual center
  • how to develop some intercultural agility.

Course materials are divided into modules, available “on demand” as pre-recorded presentations with additional reading materials, discussion questions and other resources.
