Navigating Uncertainty and Thresholds for Leaders
As leaders, we often face unpredictable challenges, and how we handle these uncertainties can define our success. Using stories and my experiences in congregational ministry, we’ll explore how leaders can navigate the uncertain and liminal spaces that change presents.

The Power of Storytelling in Leadership: Inspiring and Influencing through Narrative
In my life, storytelling has been a powerful tool for advocacy and change. These stories helped humanize our cause and garner support from a broader audience. As leaders, storytelling allows us to share our vision and values in a compelling way. It helps us connect with our audience on a deeper level and motivate them to take action. In this talk, we explore how storytelling can be impactful for leaders.
Fostering Inclusion: Building Diverse and Equitable Communities
Inclusion creates an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. My experiences have taught me that true inclusion requires courage, commitment, and a willingness to challenge the status quo. This talk discusses strategies for fostering inclusion and leaders' roles.
Workshop Topics
Professional Ethics and Boundaries
Many people begin their careers with a clear sense of their interests, and desires, full of energy and enthusiasm. Over time they lose their shine, dulled by the stressors of work life, office/movement politics, despondency, and overwork. This creates fertile ground for boundary violations and misconduct. What if they could identify and articulate their boundaries and ethics before landing in the proverbial hot water?
This workshop helps participants identify and define their boundaries and ethics and is adapted from an academic paper on professional ethics and boundaries for ministers. The material can be adapted for any audience that is wrestling with ethics and boundaries in the professional sphere (religious professionals, activists, etc.).
The workshop can be presented in one day or over multiple days.
A Queer Ethic For Activists And Spiritual Types
What do liberatory ethics and leadership look like for activists? The workshop will explore: what are ethics, sources of ethics, living ethically, power and justice, and love. Learning about ethics from a purely academic perspective runs the risk of presenting an understanding of ethics removed from the day-to-day realities, resulting in one formed by people in places of privilege and power. This workshop seeks to help participants articulate an understanding of ethics based on their lived realities versus one based on rational abstractions only. At the end of the workshop participants will be able to define a queer ethic specific and unique to their context.
The workshop can be presented in one day or over multiple days.
Strengthening Community Bonds Through The Exploration Of Emotions
This workshop allows the LGBTQ community to explore their experiences of anger, fear, grief, love, and pleasure. Angeline explains the reason behind the exploration of each emotion and uses breakout sessions for deeper engagement with the experiences. The LGBTQ community has learned to live the dire realities of queer life without having opportunities or spaces to process the experiences and emotions that arise. Community bonds can become stronger if they can come together and explore their anger, fear, grief, love, and desire for pleasure.
The workshop can be presented in one day or over multiple days.
"Angeline’s ability to embody strength, hope and leadership in the face of challenging situations and difficult odds inspires and excites audiences. She is helping to lead a movement and inspire change today in the same way that Harvey Milk did in the United States nearly 40 years ago."
