Virtual Next Steps Weekends & Consulting By-the-Hour

Virtual Next Steps Weekend (vNSW)

Our traditional Next Steps Weekend (NSW) provides an examination of a congregation’s strengths, challenges, risks, and opportunities. Congregations report that NSWs result in immediate impact as well as long-lasting value in terms of strengthened stewardship and generosity, including positioning for capital campaigns and other ambitious programs. The fee for an NSW is $3,000 plus travel expenses.

Our new totally virtual vNSW will leverage technology to meet your needs.  For the same fee, the virtual approach will provide all the benefits of the traditional process while offering special advantages, notably:

  • more flexible scheduling, resulting in increased participation.
  • the opportunity to use new tools and engage in new and creative ways.
  • no travel, reducing costs and our carbon footprint.

The vNSW will deliver the same value congregational leaders cited about the Next Steps Weekend:

It’s really worth the money because you get a professional who will take a forthright look at your assets in terms of cash, property and people and help you utilize all to the fulfillment of vision. 

–Rev. Dr. Nori Rost, All Souls UU, Colorado Springs CO

Your insights have shifted the way we are seeing things here and talking about our future. I feel like it was an invaluable experience.

–Rev. Laura Smidzik, Michael Servetus Unitarian Society

 

By-the-Hour Consulting

The pandemic has created a demand for more limited, immediate consulting assistance, for example, to plan for an upcoming annual meeting to set next year’s budget in this time of great uncertainty.

To respond to immediate needs in this time, we are offering no-contract by-the-hour consulting at $150/hr.
