Effective Leadership Development teams focus on recruiting and relationship building.

All of our trainings have discussion questions and occasional activities for each module that you can use for in-person sessions. Training instructors monitor discussion threads.
We also offer additional trainings on various topics by guest instructors and UUA Staff. The training discussion sections are not typically monitored.
Older trainings are still available for no charge. The training discussion sections are not monitored.
We occasionally have independent, professional consultants offer trainings that are useful to congregational leaders and not available from UUA staff. These trainings are priced accordingly.
"Centered Leadership is more than having great ideas or knowing how to follow an agenda. It sometimes calls us to have difficult conversations in such a way that allows for revelation and growth. Centered Leadership provided me with the tools that continue to enhance my ability to lead."- Alexis Engelbrecht-Villafane
