Webinar #312 Beverley Shepherd — Wise leadership and strategic prayer

Recorded on 3 September 2026 for ICMDA Webinars.Dr Felicia Wong chairs a webinar with Beverley ShepherdWhilst we can learn much from courses and books on effective leadership there is one vital ingredient, for the Christian, that is missing from these ‘success’ recipes – strategic prayer.Many believers seem unaware of the spiritual battle that is present in their workplaces. The enemy’s job description is to rob, kill and destroy and that includes sabotaging our work.Though there is no blueprint for how to pray strategically for our areas of responsibility, we need to recognise and use the weapons in our armoury. This is a battle that God equips us to both fight and win!Bev is a management trainer and developmental coach, specialising in the areas of leadership, team dynamics, conflict resolution and stress resilience.
