2010 Keynote: Rev. Terasa Cooley
The Reverend Terasa Cooley will present the Keynote Address at this year's Annual Meeting, "Embracing the Vision: Learning, Leading, Growing."
Adaptive Leadership: Leading Through Challenging Times
What are the challenges facing your congregation? Are they clear and apparent even if daunting, or are they bewildering and unpredictable? If you're like most congregations you probably face both kinds. Adaptive Leadership is a process that helps you discern different strategies for facing different kinds of challenges. Leading through cultural change requires multiple perspectives and new learning - about ourselves and others. New energy and commitment to deep reflection can come about when we uncover new ways of thinking about our challenges.
