    S1 E13 The Role & Place of Volunteers

    For the longest time, Maritime Ministries have relied on volunteers for a myriad of roles.  In many ways, volunteers are the backbone of what we do.  But attracting volunteers and keeping them engaged isn't easy.  In this episode, we are joined by the Executive Director for The Mission to Seafarers in Seattle, Washington, Mr Ken Hawkins who has devoted his life to nurturing a strong and focussed volunteer culture.   In his eleven years at the helm of The Mission in Seattle, he has built a phenomenal team of passionate volunteers who don't just give their time to the work, but through the story that Ken tells, they have become his team of ambassadors for the work wherever they go.  Today Ken shares some of his incredible insights.

    S1 E11 The Power of Listening Part 1

    The world is filled with noise and distraction.  We are bombarded with noise wherever we go.  Today, more than ever people want to be heard, they want us to listen.  Yet listening intently can be exhausting and something that is hard to do.   In this episode, we discuss the power of listening and why listening well to others is so vitally important.  We are joined by a special guest, the Reverend Dr Lynne Baab author of The Power of Listening: Building Skills for Mission and Ministry who has studied the art of listening.  She shares her wisdom with us.

    S1 E10 The Importance of Ongoing Professional Development

    It is no secret that the people who work or volunteer for us are a hugely important factor in the success of our organisations.  Ensuring that our people have the right skills to succeed in their role is critical.  In a world that is rapidly changing it is important to keep on top of the changes in our sector and to ensure that we are maintaining best practice.  Ongoing professional development is one means of keeping our skills current.  In this episode, we discuss the importance of ongoing professional development.  We are joined by a special guest, the Reverend Canon Garry Dodd from Australia.

    S1 E9 The Place, Power & Potential of Ritual

    Ritual and ceremony are important markers in our lives.  We celebrate births, coming of age, graduation, marriage and retirement.  We commemorate life with funerals and memorial services.  In the maritime ministry sector, we are often asked to mark significant events, and this often involves a liturgy, a ritual or a ceremony of some kind.  In today's episode, we are joined by a special guest and one of my good friends, Sande Ramage, who has done a considerable amount of thinking about ritual and the role it has in our lives.

    S1 E8 Supervision

    In this episode, we consider the role and place of professional supervision as a part of self-care and reflective practice.  Using the kairos circle as a model we unpack a couple of instances that sit uneasily and reflect on what we might learn from them and how we might approach them differently in the future.
