Becoming: A My Spring Harvest Podcast

Hope and Leadership with Kate Middleton and Justin Humphreys

At the end of this series of conversations about psychologically healthy leadership, Abby Guinness turns the tables on Kate and Justin to ask them to reflect on their journey through the season. What are the key takeaways from these conversations they have been most influenced by? What issues feel important to them in this moment? And how do they - and we - find hope in our leadership through difficult times.   ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Compassion and Leadership with Joanna Collicutt

Is ministry really more complex than other leadership roles? Is it helpful for us to view ourselves as leaders, and in the midst of all the other complexity we experience, how can we understand our role in a healthy way? Joanna Collicutt is a psychologist and priest in the Church of England. As we consider challenges like trauma, identity and anxiety she explains why self-compassion and finding joy even in the tough phases of ministry might be the most important skills we cultivate. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Trust and Leadership with Chuck DeGroat

Trust is an essential part of any human relationship. But how do we rebuild trust and heal the hurt when trust has been broken? What does that look like for individuals - and what about the whole church, in a season when many people have lost trust in that wider institution or a particular tradition? How do we balance the need for justice and the mission with needing time to heal and process? Chuck DeGroat has a particular interest in supporting people and churches in the aftermath of abuse or when damage has been done. Join us as we think about trust, vulnerability and what it looks like to start again. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Theology and Leadership with Selina Stone

What does it look like to attend well to issues of power when we articulate theology and the Bible? How might our own experiences, biases and even tradition or culture influence the way we teach, maximising some voices but minimising others? Join us as we talk with Dr Selina Stone, a theologian from the University of Edinburgh, and press into what we need to understand about theology, power and the impact it can have on those who are most vulnerable. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.

Innovation and Leadership with Chris Curtis

We all come to leadership with expectations of what it might need to look like. But what do you do when the surrounding culture requires a change of direction? What does innovative leadership look like - and when we face challenging situations, how do we tease apart the good from the bad or even the ugly? Chris Curtis has a leadership track record over decades, first pioneering what became Youthscape - a national youth work organisation based in Luton but with a national reach and influence - but also in youth work in the local church. Join us as he shares lessons he has learned from the unexpected moments - including the pandemic - and why the team around you is so important. ---------------------------------------- Hosted on Acast.
