My consulting and training services allow you to pick my brain. They also enable me to have the opportunity to learn more about your situation and needs and offer some direction for where you can grow and enhance your work.

My consulting and training services are available to you if you feel you need some direction or training in specific leadership skills or just want some objective observation and feedback concerning your work and/or ministry.

As a consultant/trainer, you can expect me to:

• Provide professional insights for your specific leadership role
• Teach skills that are needed in leadership (such as public speaking, how to teach, how to lead a Bible study, how to plan events, how to build an effective team, how to develop a team, etc.)
• Train you with hands-on experiences
• Help you learn to analyze your own strengths and weaknesses as an individual or as a team
• Observe your current work or ministry and offer constructive feedback on areas where you could focus to see more growth
• Provide written documentation of my observations and feedback as well as specific suggestions for the next steps

I can consult via Skype, Zoom, or other platform, or in person. We would first need to discuss your specific needs to determine which would be the most effective type of consulting or training for you and/or your team and to determine the cost of these services. If you’re interested, please complete the form below and I will be happy to respond to your questions within 3 business days.

I am always happy to customize a consulting/training session to meet your needs. The topics listed below are just a few examples of sessions I could customize to meet your needs. 

Sample Training/Professional Development topics:

How to Start, Grow, and/or Evaluate a Women’s Ministry 

Description: Based on where your group is wanting to go, this could be a workshop exploring how your church could start a women’s ministry or how you could grow an existing women’s ministry. If you’re wanting to revamp your current ministry, then it may be time to evaluate and regroup. 

Time length: 2-4 hours 

Suitable for: Women and pastors relating to the women’s groups in their churches. No experience required. 

Can be offered as: a one-time consultative training session or a series of workshops based on your needs. 

Intentional Teaching in a Christian Context: Helping Preschoolers Hide God’s Word in Their Hearts

Description: In this interactive workshop using role play and learning centers with preschool teachers, I help them uncover some new ways to interject biblical truth into every aspect of a preschooler’s day.

Can be offered as: a single professional development session, a volunteer training course, or church staff enrichment

Note: When I discovered my passion and gifting in teaching, I started out as a preschool teacher and got my Texas certification as a Teacher of Young Children. I have since taught all ages and have been a university instructor in teacher education programs. I still have a great love and admiration for preschool workers.
