Presentations & Workshops
"Fostering reflective, fully-engaged, fulfilled leaders."
Peter teaches in a variety of settings about motivation, congregational change and leadership. Personalized follow-up work may also be arranged through a coaching engagement for a set number of sessions.
Motivation and Congregational Change
Presentations can be designed to bring content from my book Choosing Change to meet the specific needs and interests of your group. Here are titles from some of my presentations:
Leadership as a Reflective Practice
The development of great leadership begins with self-leadership. At its core self-leadership relies on personal reflective practices that are the starting point for substantial individualized leadership development. A leader who has solid habits in reflection can turn any leadership situation into a learning laboratory, and this has been shown to accelerate self-learning in leadership. Self-development brings increased capacity, stronger beliefs in one’s capabilities and growing effectiveness—all of which strengthen leadership ability. At the same time personal meditative and reflective practices have been used by human beings across cultures for millennia to achieve personal insights, develop their values and character, to determine their life causes and priorities, as well as to make what they do faith-full. Workshops on this topic combine emerging insights from leadership psychology and self-leadership as well as opportunities to learn and try on new reflective practices. Why not stretch your spiritual practice to not only connect with God but also to strengthen your capacity to fulfill your spiritual calling?
The Mental Game of Leadership
Clergy are at real risk of burnout, which is the mental exhaustion that breeds growing hopelessness and compassion fatigue, as well as increased ineffectiveness in ministry. Burnout happens when we are over-obligated, but also emerges when we are not attentive to our mental game. This presentation and workshop explores the nature of burnout, helps participants assess how at-risk they are for burnout, learn how strengthening their psychological capital can build resiliency in ministry, as well as discover strategies for keeping burnout at bay.
