For years, ministry leaders have been saying that Stepping Up to Supervision—our live training series led by Susan Beaumont, designed to teach the art of effective people management in a congregation—changed their perspective and practices for good.
Susan is an expert in faith-based leadership dynamics and leads this training with insights from her research and work among hundreds of congregations and denominational bodies.
