Churches and Organizations
I work with churches and church leadership in a variety of coaching areas:
- Workshop or training such as strategic planning, simplified accountable structure, communication in conflict
- Mediation and conflict transformation. For UM churches, it is best if the request for mediation comes from the district superintendent or conference leadership.
- Simplified Accountable Structure Coaching from discernment to first two-years of meetings as a simplified board .
