The Spiritually Engaged Leader

Would more spiritual engagement at work improve your leadership effectiveness and produce sustained business performance?

Yes, it is possible!

Join us for a powerful summit on November 1 & 2 at the Princeton Theological Seminary as we explore the ways and results of being more spiritually engaged in your leadership role.

What We Mean

To make the program as meaningful and relevant as possible, during the registration process, participants will be asked to choose from the following which best completes this sentence where you are now: “When I consider connecting my spiritual life to my leadership role at work,”

Spiritual Engagement: Positively managing your inner core of beliefs, feelings and thoughts in a way that enables you to experience God within you and the wholeness of who you are.

Leadership Effectiveness: A mindset and behaviors that build productive and meaningful relationships and enable you to make quality decisions and take effective actions which improve business performance.

Sustained Performance: Driving high performing people, teams, and organizations that achieve sustained improvement in business results and build loyalty and engagement of employees, customers, and other key stakeholders.

Rather than getting worn down by inertia, the spiritually engaged leader uses spiritual management tools to actively manage his or her inner core.

About The Summit

The Objective: Demonstrating improved business and people outcomes from your individual and team decision making through your greater spiritual engagement in your job.

The Outcomes: Demonstrably better leadership results through improved decision making and relationships. Plus feelings of greater calm and confidence in your job, and a support community for your ongoing learning plan.

Experience: You will form part of an Engagement Group for the duration of the event. These are leaders of similar background (e.g., small business, large business, church.) The focus is on your immediate business issues. Group breakouts are interspersed with stimulating speakers.

Through this process you will:

• Clarify your Greater Purpose individually and organizationally
• Hear from several business leaders who will discuss their own experience for creating joy and meaning in their work
• Get mobilized to break out of a rut into a place of joyful engagement
• Discover the potential for spiritual power energizing your personal and professional life
• Enhance your capability to build meaningful and enduring relationships with employees, customers, and other key stakeholders
• Discuss tips and pointers with peers for aligning your spiritual intentions, and words with your actions
