Every day, we receive updates on the COVID-19 pandemic. This crisis has resulted in another pandemic — a pandemic of grief. This recorded session explores how leaders can use basic Coaching skills to be present with individuals in the midst of their grief. The focus is on supporting our local faith communities, as well as society as a whole.

For helpful context, we recommend these articles by the Director of the Briarwood Leadership Center, Dr. Robert Smith:
