Empowerment Sessions have Leaders Sharing their Vulnerable Side

MABLETON, Ga. - May 12, 2014 - PRLog -- Last year there seemed to be a headline every other month about a pastor or leader attempting or committing suicide. As a general rule, most leaders do not reveal to their followers when they’re frustrated or having personal issues. So where can these leaders talk out their frustrations or reveal their weaknesses or shortcomings?  Agapé Christian Counseling Center has created the “Embracing Love Empowerment Sessions,” a small, invitation-only, open forum for women leaders to release all of those burdens without fear of judgment. The first round of participates opened up immediately at the first hour and a half session on April 28^th.

“I shared some things tonight that I have never had the courage to say out loud,” said one participate.

Another participate said, “Thank you for allowing me to completely be myself; to exhale and woosah"

Because there is no agenda, the attendees are small in number so each person has time to share. All participates are leaders in the community, in churches, and in business. The topics range from Challenges in relationships at work, personal or the community, and the pressure of being held to a higher standard. Although, the ladies in the first session are leaders in different industries, they shared a commonality that the “Embracing Love Empowerment Sessions” gave them- a voice to be vulnerable.

“I openly praised God for my obedience after hearing all of the women share and tell me how each of them were blessed by this experience,”  ACCC’s Executive Director Ieshea Hartwell said.  “It really turned out to be something that was really needed.”

The next “Embracing Love Empowerment Session” will be Tuesday, May 20th at a location disclosed in Mableton on the invitation. If anyone would like to participate in the future sessions or if anyone wants to book a session with their own group of leaders, email info@agapecccinc.org.
