Ken Morgan
Leadership is about clarity, presence, courage and wisdom. Downloading an app and picking up some hacks from a podcast won’t build the kind of character and skill that people follow. Leadership takes discipline, self-awareness and the ability to work with complexity.
Our commitment is to partner with leaders and their organisations as they wrestle with the challenges of a complex world. We’re interested in developing depth of integrity, resilience and insight that enables leaders and organisations to thrive.

Professional Supervision
Ministry
Professional Supervision for all religious workers is a key recommendation of the 2013 The Royal Commission into Institutional Responses to Child Sexual Abuse. If you’re a church minister, a chaplain or a denominational executive, you’re required to have regular supervision. We encourage you to use supervision as an opportunity to invest in your development and effectiveness. We bring to the table decades of experience empowering ministers – from church planters through to denominational leaders across every major protestant denomination.
Typical Rate $200 per hour plus GST
Healthcare
If you’ve moved from being a client-facing clinician to a management role in healthcare, your learning edge will move from technical, clinical skills to the sphere of general management. We’ll work with you to build your competence and capacity to manage people and processes. Switch up your professional supervision to meet your current challenges.

Role Transition Coaching
You’re about to step into a new role. Perhaps it’s a step up to a new scale of responsibility. Maybe it’s a step out into a new field or discipline. You might be about to step in to a new organisation and you want to make sure you begin well.
We’ll help you design and implement an entrance strategy that enables you to hit the ground with clarity, confidence and focus, and we’ll walk with you as you get your feet under the desk and take up your role.
Typical Rate $200 – $350 per hour plus GST
Mid-career Coaching
You’re well past your fortieth birthday and you’re asking yourself “What the…?” for the umpteenth time. If the things that used to satisfy don’t do it for you anymore, if you suspect that there’s got to be more than this, or if you’re just feeling stuck, let’s talk.

Organisational change
You can choose deep change, or slow death – Robert Quinn
If organisational change was easy, most change initiatives would succeed. But they don’t, because change is hard. It challenges the leader to become more courageous, more thoughtful, less reactive. If you’re done with tinkering at the edges and you’re ready to do the work of deep change, we’re ready to partner with you to see organisational transformation.
If you’re looking for someone to facilitate a convoluted search for consensus over vision, mission and values, or if you want help to fix your culture with a re-structure, you’ll need to look elsewhere. Instead, we walk with leaders through a process confronting their realities and the factors that drive them, figuring out what it takes to build a preferred future, and taking the courageous and resolute steps of leading change.
Grounded in solid theory and hard-won experience, we don’t promise quick fixes or even guarantee success as you might imagine it. We do promise honesty, insight, and if you’re willing, deep change.
Rates for organisational change consulting are dependent on scope and setting.

Executive Search
When your organisation has reached a critical juncture, you need to do some thoughtful research and careful design before posting up an ad on the web and hoping for the best.
We’ll walk your board or leadership team though a process of careful organisational analysis, role design, recruitment, selection and onboarding. We won’t sell you fancy psychometrics with questionable predictive validity. We will use proven methodologies, and your leaders will learn through the experience.

Publications
Like a Boss: The Process and Privilege of Managing People
For many organisations, their single biggest expense is their people – yet they entrust the management of those people to team leaders, mid-level managers and executives with little or no training in the specific skills of supervising staff. People tend to start jobs because they like the company, and leave them because they don’t like their boss.
Like a Boss takes the reader through the fundamentals of supervision: the kind of boss people love to work for, some foundational theory of supervision, a practical process for supervision, and some solid counsel on issues like recruitment, conflict and burnout.
Written in an informal and entertaining style, it’s punctuated with lessons from history and insights from recent research.
Pathways: Local Mission for All Kinds of Churches
Pathways is a way of thinking about, planning and enacting the mission of Jesus in the context of the local church.
Pathways is based in the notion that all kinds of churches can be effective in mission: church plants and ancient cathedrals, emerging churches and traditional churches, churches that are big on preaching or social action, and those that emphasise liturgy and sacraments.
Pathways thinking arose from field experience in coaching church planters and church leaders. We asked the question, What are the similarities in churches that grow by making new disciples? And it’s been honed by field experience in over a hundred churches across four countries over more than two decades.
