When Burnout is Baked into the System
Healthy Boundaries for Healthy Leaders
From our Leadership Development Team.
Dear Leader:
2026 will test our leadership. These days burnout is baked into the system, especially for faith leaders, who are expected to be available 24/7 and be experts in theology and mission, facilities management and finances, fundraising and pastoral care, emotional intelligence and conflict negotiation, community organization and justice-reform, and and and. Not to mention the constant crises to negotiate, power dynamics to maneuver, and skyrocketing emotional labor to tend. That’s why boundaries remain one of the single most important factors to a leader’s well-being and success. Not to mention the organization’s health!
In this new year, LeaderWise has some good news to share with you. Launching February 5, we have re-envisioned and revamped our boundaries training so that it remains relevant to the challenges YOU face. It also still has at its core what our participants have continually loved. We’ve aptly named it Healthy Boundaries for Healthy Leaders.
Here is what we want you to know about Healthy Boundaries for Healthy Leaders.
The training begins with a dynamic 15-minute video to be watched beforehand offering foundational information so participants can arrive ready to engage with the subject.
The “basic” boundaries training is 4 hours in length. We continue to believe that humans learn best when they are engaged with each other. Therefore, our time together is interactive with times of personal reflection, large group discussion, and small group conversations. Besides, we don’t want to miss the valuable wisdom in the room. The “basic” boundaries training covers:
Introduction to boundaries and ethics
Prioritizing wellness through a trauma-informed approach
Healthy relationships including explicit sexual boundaries
Steps to making decisions when the road is uncertain
How to use your power and rank well
The impact of culture and context on boundaries
Additional topics that are suited to your needs:
For individual leaders, our public workshops offer two additional choices
Guarding Against Childhood Sexual Abuse (February 5 or August 12)
The Self-Differentiated Leader (May 7 or October 13)
For denomination leaders, you can choose one of the four possible options:
Guarding Against Childhood Sexual Abuse
The Self-Differentiated Leader
Finances and Best Practices
Retirement and Boundaries
For years, LeaderWise’s boundaries training has offered solid ground and practical tools for leaders making difficult and necessary decisions. We’re committed to offering training that is relevant to your lives and the issues you face. Knowing high-inflation and a challenging economy are impacting leaders, we priced Healthy Boundaries for Healthy Leaders at $98/person for the 6-hour training.
Your wellbeing is worth the investment.
