Faith-Based & Nonprofit
Stronger Leaders. Healthier Organizations. Greater Capacity to Serve the Mission.
Mission-driven organizations ask a great deal of their leaders. They must inspire people, navigate difficult relationships, manage change, steward resources and make consequential decisions, all while protecting the purpose and values that brought the organization into existence.
The Center for Emotional Development helps faith-based and nonprofit leaders strengthen the emotional intelligence, leadership capacity and organizational health needed to lead that mission well.
This work is grounded in Dr. Hayles’ decades of leadership within churches, Christian higher education and social-sector organizations, not simply consulting from the outside.
For Faith-Based Organizations
Leadership in a church or faith-based institution carries both organizational and spiritual responsibility. We work with pastors, executives, ministry leaders and leadership teams to address the human dynamics that can strengthen, or quietly undermine, the health of the organization and community.
- Pastor and executive coaching
- Emotional-intelligence assessment and development
- Ministry leadership development
- Leadership-team and board alignment
- Succession, transition and organizational change
- Conflict, communication and relationship development
- Leadership retreats and workshops
- Emotional and spiritual development
For Nonprofit Organizations
A compelling mission does not automatically create an effective organization. We help nonprofit executives, boards and leadership teams build the trust, clarity, communication and leadership capacity required to turn mission into sustained impact. Work may include executive coaching, leadership-team development, organizational effectiveness, strategic alignment and leadership through change.
