HARVEST THE POWER

Leadership Academy

Classes meet 2nd and 4th Mondays from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m.
Led by Kathy Rickey, MAOL or Tracy Blender, Chair Leadership Development Committee

Coming Up:

Visions Module: Courses 104, 204, and 304

104: Turning Points and Moments of Grace
Monday, March 26
This workshop introduces the idea of turning points, or moments of grace—times when events or circumstances lead one's life in a new direction. After identifying personal turning points, participants consider conditions that can lead a congregation to a turning point.

204: Imagination and Creativity
Monday, April 9
This workshop explores reasons and ways to include many voices in the visioning work of the congregation. Participants learn how to pay attention to voices on the margins of the faith community. When the leadership intentionally invites all members to share their ideas, life experiences and wisdom, the community becomes more adept and creative in meeting challenges.

304: Adaptive Leadership
Monday, April 23
This workshop focuses on how a leader can give form and voice to a guiding vision as a congregation works through adaptive challenges. Through activities, readings and conversation, participants integrate what they have learned about adaptive leadership. The workshop points participants toward further learning, reflection and action in the service of the congregation and its mission and vision.

*The Leadership Academy is a drop-in, interactive workshop style learning experience. There are no prerequisite courses. Class is limited 12. Please sign up in the church office or email ARE@pacificunitarian.org
