Consulting

Peter and I both consult on a range of issues related to congregational health, growth and community building.   You may read more about our offerings on our Leading Congregations consulting website, and find a curated stream of resources  on the Leading Congregations Facebook page and Twitter account.

Recently my consulting work has shifted to serving congregations  as a staff consulting minister.

UU Society of Martha’s Vineyard  2012-2013

uusmvI worked with the UU Society of Martha’s Vineyard as a Consulting Minister for the Fall of 2012 through Spring of 2013.  This was during a period when the congregation was without a settled minister.  Having served the congregation previously as an Interim Minister,  it was a joy to return to the Vineyard.  During this period I worked with the congregation on healthy congregation best practices, listening skills, and leadership development .
