For years we have been working in collaboration with clergy and seminary formators and the results from using these tools to help seminarians grow in their human formation are showing.  Join this webinar to hear from our guest panel as they share their experiences using CliftonStrengths in seminary contexts and discuss the need for more innovation around human formation within seminaries.

Fr. Boniface Hick, OSB, provides an introduction to what the CliftonStrengths assessment is and the tremendous value it can provide to seminarian formation, community in religious life, and spiritual directees.

Fr. James Mallon, the Founder of Divine Renovation — divinerenovation.net — deploys the Human Formation Coalition to help train the coaches that Divine Renovation sends into parishes worldwide. Listen to this interview of Fr. Mallon in which he discusses how StrengthsFinder helps elevate the effectiveness of a parish leadership team.

Our world today suffers from a crisis of meaning; a crisis of purpose. If only people were aware of their purpose and that there is a God who desires to imbue them with graces to live out their natural talents! Metanoia Catholic breaks down what it means to discover your unique and unrepeatable gift.

Fr. Boniface Hicks, OSB, leads listeners into the Prodigal Son’s decisive moment—“I will get up and go back to my father”—to show that faith isn’t only an idea but a choice made in the heart, the “place of decision” where we choose life.

In this episode of the Catholic Coaching Podcast, Metanoia Catholic invites Fr. Bill Hanson, who once pastored the most engaged parish in the United States per Gallup polling standards. Discover how Fr. Bill and his parishioners made a courageous effort to go against the grain and try something new in a last-ditch effort to restore a parish headed towards bankruptcy. The proof is in the fruits. 

No matter what you do, there's a good chance you lead or influence people in some capacity. Whether as pastors, ministry leaders, business owners, managers, parents, or any other role that involves people, it's essential to understand yourself and also to understand the people around you.

Can you imagine a parish where people knew their unique gifts and shared them abundantly? It can transform a parish when leaders know their strengths. On this episode, we have Patrick Molyneaux, founder of the Human Formation Coalition, helping us flesh out this vision for robust human formation. Pat focuses on elevating awareness and conversation for leaders — whether that's clergy, seminarians, or companies.

This week we welcome Pat Molyneaux, Founder of the Human Formation Coalition, as he shares how he helps form leaders with CliftonStrengths®. During this episode, you'll learn how you can grow as a leader.

When leaders do not understand their unique design, their talent DNA, they can't lead from their strengths; this leads to burnout and under-serving their teams and ultimately their organization.  The Newton Institute specializes in helping leaders and organizations understand their unique design, and out of that design, understand their purpose as a leader, team member, and an organization to fulfill their unique purpose.

Gateway to Human Formation in the Church with Fr. Jeff Lorig, Director of Pastoral Services in the Omaha Archdiocese. Fr. Jeff attended Fr. Mallon's Divine Renovation Conference, and realized of all the things he needed to do in his church, he needed to have a leadership team…

In this video a group of leaders and coaches discuss a case study that integrates 3 vital elements for creating Flourishing Teams; Patrick Lencioni’s team framework, Emotional Intelligence, and robust Human Formation (including StrengthsFinder and APEST / MPACT).  It’s a great video for leaders and coaches trying to elevate team cohesion and team performance.

Kate Harris, executive director of The Washington Institute for Faith, Vocation, and Culture, wants to change how we think about vocation. Since “vocation” is derived from the Latin word vox, which means “voice” or “vocal,” she says, we should think about it as “one’s entire life lived in response to God’s voice or call.”
