Leadership
Judy Brown
– poet, leadership educator and author of A Leader’s Guide to Reflective Practice (2008) and The Art and Spirit of Leadership (2012). My childhood in a small fishing village in northern Michigan shaped my love of the natural world and my appreciation for the diverse gifts of all kinds of people. My work as a leadership educator has had at its heart designing learning spaces for spirit, authenticity and wholeness. I have a passion for drawing out the full talents of people and helping them uncover and focus on their values, talents and dreams. While much of my work as a leadership educator across all sectors has been focused on wholeness and authenticity, as a writer and poet I know that people are drawn to what they love and to beauty. So my goal is to help them see the tremendous beauty in the natural world and fall in love with it. I live on a tidal creek off the Chesapeake where my husband and I can kayak off our front lawn.
Courage and Renewal, Circles of Trust ®
While I no longer organize cohorts to participate in the Courage and Renewal work, almost everything I do is infused with the touch, tone and structures by which that work is known. I am particularly interested in the potential for the Courage and Renewal practices to help people with transitions- particularly the transitions of the third thirty years.
