Healthy Leadership Series offered through Healthy Congregations

The Healthy Leadership Series is an opportunity for leaders across professions (pastors, religious leaders, educators, administrators and health professionals) to enrich and expand their ability to apply principles of systems thinking to self, family, and organizations. The Series is composed of eight one-day seminars that promote in-depth thinking about self, family, and organizational process through the lens of Bowen Family Systems Theory. A Seminar day includes plenary presentations in the morning and application of systems theory to workplace and family in small group coaching in the afternoon. Practical application of theory through working with a coach for an extended period of time is at the heart of systems thinking.

Location

The 2017-2018 Healthy Leadership Series will be located at the Methodist Theological School in Ohio (MTSO). MTSO is easy to find, located on U.S. Route 23, 10 miles north of I-270 in Delaware. We are excited about this new partnership and some of the exciting opportunities that come with it. While MTSO is affiliated with the United Methodist Church, their student’s represent 20 different faith traditions and mirrors Healthy Congregations’ desire to build ecumenical relationships. MTSO is also home to Seminary Hill Farm, a certified organic farm that is committed to providing and educating people on sustainable farming practices. In-Person participants to this year’s Leadership Series will be provided with a true farm-to-table lunch (and you can actually visit the farm!).
