Build your own. Note that my book, Together Through Reflection: Themes for Those Who Lead and Serve in Catholic Organizations (Liturgical Press), contains themes, activities and templates to help set a foundation for a retreat or afternoon of reflection. I can offer short-term coaching to help you design and facilitate your own reflective experience, utilizing resources close at hand, and when needed, helping you build confidence and competence in your own reflective leadership.

— Ruth Jandeska, EdD, MA, BCC, Vice President Spiritual Health Services, Bon Secours Mercy Health

“Bridget is an effective, generous, and compassionate minister and leader.  She led a day of reflection for my team that was not only well-received, it also encouraged robust discussion at our next few staff meetings.  Bridget’s style is welcoming and hospitable, and her years of experience working with Catholic health care and higher education institutions makes her the ideal facilitator for group work and mission discernment in faith-based organizations.”

She brings a personal touch to her conversations and relationships that is both light-hearted and deeply meaningful, and this makes it easy for groups she is facilitating to easily engage in the work, trust the process, and give more toward the results.”
