Free Introduction to Gifts & Purpose

About this gathering

What if your gifts, strengths and experiences revealed a clearer pattern for the season ahead? Begin with this complimentary virtual introduction and explore how faith, leadership and purposeful service can come together in your everyday life.

Individualized insight with Dr. Brown

Throughout the workshop, you will have opportunities to share your discoveries, reflections and questions with Dr. Sherry-Ann Brown. Drawing on several years of developing this material, together with professional experience, study, prayer and seasoned discernment, she helps participants recognize meaningful connections among their gifts, strengths, personality, lived experience, aspirations and spheres of influence.

Her leading professional strength and top spiritual gifts inform the individualized observations and questions she brings to this process. As you share what you are discovering, she helps illuminate patterns, points of convergence and possibilities for purposeful stewardship.

This personal dimension extends across both in-person and virtual gatherings through facilitated exercises, interactive conversation and participant reflection. Together, you will consider how emerging insights can shape practical contributions in your work, relationships, leadership, service and community over the next 30, 60 and 90 days.

Who this is for

People serving and leading in business, government, education, healthcare, church and community life, emerging leaders, and anyone exploring gifts, strengths and purpose.
