New Leaders Day 1

We have had a busy start to the year in the Brigidine Ministry Centre. 

On Friday 22 February we welcomed 17 new leaders from Kildare Ministries schools to a seminar exploring what leadership looks like through the lens of vision, mission and values of Kildare Ministries.  Brendan Cahill, Principal of Brigidine College Indooroopilly led an inspiring session on his own personal leadership journey and the way it has influenced his faith leadership.  We are looking forward to welcoming this vibrant group back for Day 2 in August.  Below is some of the feedback offered by our participants:

"The biggest learning for me was to cement ideas about how the values of Kildare Ministries influence my role as a leader and to make sure I allow time for the heart and quiet reflection."

"I felt very connected to the story and the core values."

"I valued the authentic voices the presenters all employed."

"There was space and time to reflect, network, dream, hope, imagine and recharge."

"Great to hear about how other leaders deal with the situations that happen at their schools."

"Hearing other people's journey to leadership was beneficial as it was relatable and enabled me to reflect on my journey."

"The presentations were well prepared and as a new leader gave me a new perspective on how I could better deal with certain aspects of my job."

"It was a good insight into the workings of the Kildare Ministries, it gave me context."

"I appreciated the frankness and depth of Brendan Cahill's presentation."

"I found the second session, regarding the structure of KM and the role of coaching very informative."
