In January, Mark Newell and I(Bern) returned from a US Navs’ staff training event – this has proved thought provoking and inspiring as we plan our own regional leader development course for 2025.
This included thinking about:
- A shift from organizational to relational leadership
- Emphasis on modelling and developing mobile alongsiding
- Incorporation of four helping modalities: mentoring, coaching, counselling, spiritual direction
- Building modules around the Core and Core Values
- Improved mix of 70-20-10
- Emphasis on the whole person, personalized mentoring and coaching
