Independent Consulting Services

Offered separately from the Center’s programs

Independent consulting services are offered by Rev. Dr. Phaedra D. Blocker through a separate entity, supporting congregations and ministries in leadership and organizational development.

Organizational & Leadership Consulting

I partner with congregations, nonprofit organizations, and leadership teams to support growth, alignment, and transformation—both within individuals and across systems.

My work integrates spiritual formation, leadership development, and organizational consulting, helping leaders and organizations navigate complexity with greater clarity, resilience, and purpose.

Areas of Engagement

Strategic Planning & Visioning

Supporting organizations in clarifying direction, aligning mission and practice, and discerning next steps in seasons of transition or growth.

Leadership Team Development

Working with clergy teams, staff, and boards to strengthen communication, deepen trust, and cultivate healthy, effective leadership dynamics.

Navigating Change & Transition

Guiding leaders and organizations through periods of change, including shifts in leadership, structure, or direction, with attention to both practical and relational dynamics.

Discernment & Decision-Making

Helping leaders and teams engage processes of reflection and discernment that are both spiritually grounded and practically actionable.

Organizational Health & Culture

Supporting organizations in identifying patterns, strengthening alignment, and cultivating practices that sustain both people and mission over time.

Approach

My consulting work is:

Integrative — bridging inner formation and organizational practice
Contextual — responsive to the unique culture and needs of each organization
Relational — attentive to the human dynamics that shape leadership and systems
Practical — grounded in actionable insight and sustainable change

I bring over two decades of experience in pastoral leadership, teaching, and consulting, along with training in theological and clinical contexts.

Ways We Can Work Together

Engagements may take a variety of forms, including:

One-time consultations or planning sessions
Half-day or full-day leadership intensives
Multi-session team development processes
Ongoing consulting partnerships

Each engagement is designed in conversation with you, based on your context, goals, and capacity.

Relationship to the Center

Consulting services are provided independently and are not programs of the Center for Clergy & Congregational Wellness. While the Center offers retreats and educational experiences, consulting engagements are contracted separately and do not financially benefit the Center.
