Tim Dyer – The Johnmark Extension
Teaching and training events
Tim and I were pleased to connect with the Specialised Consultancy Team for the Baptist Association of NSW and ACT at the Ministry and Learning Centre in Macquarie Park.
The main topics explored in the training included Cognitive Processes in Conflict, and Polarity Management as opposed to problem solving. He also touched on Christopher Moore’s causal Elements of Conflict and David Snowden’s Complexity Theory.
The notes and resources can be found in SharePoint.
I am enjoying some warm Adelaide weather while giving a couple of sessions at the National Bishops Meeting.
I enjoyed being back at St James Old Cathedral today after a walk through Flagstaff Gardens. Training was for existing and new facilitators for Ministry Renewal Retreats in Victoria. Our normal cycles of renewal retreats run over three years and then groups either multiply or reform. This has been challenging during COVID with many groups missing annual retreats and catch up days. Looks like we can get back to a more normal rhythm this year. It is great to welcome some new facilitators.
Today we coved Theological Reflection (Thanks Len Firth) and looked at Core Values, Ministry to retreat group members and the principles of Sabbath-keeping.
Notes in our team dropbox have been updated.
Transform Southern Sydney is hosting a series of seminars for leaders on change and transition leadership. At the first of four seminars (on zoom today) Tim introduced four types of change and transition, focussed insights from Bridge’s Transition Model and Worden’s Four Tasks of Letting Go in leading change and transition, and outlined the tasks of effective leadership through the transition process with reference to Kotter’s Process for Leading Change.
