Who am I as a Leader? - The importance of leading authentically.
What does it really mean to lead authentically?
In this insightful webinar, we explore the question “Who am I as a leader?” and why authenticity is essential for anyone serving in ministry, nonprofit work, or faith-based leadership. Many pastors and ministry leaders begin their journey with a calling to serve, teach, and disciple others—but along the way they discover that leadership requires more than theological knowledge.
This session reflects on the often-unspoken transition from being called to ministry to becoming a leader responsible for guiding people, vision, and communities. It highlights the challenges pastors face, the gaps that formal training may not cover, and the importance of understanding your identity as a leader.
Through thoughtful reflection and practical insights, this webinar encourages leaders to:
Discover their authentic leadership identity
Reflect on their calling and purpose
Navigate the realities of leadership in ministry
Lead with integrity, self-awareness, and authenticity
Whether you are a pastor, ministry leader, nonprofit leader, or someone exploring leadership within faith communities, this conversation offers valuable perspectives to help you grow in confidence and clarity as a leader.
