BJ Woodworth

I love to create space for leaders to cultivate and nurture their inner wisdom for fruitful life, work and service in the world. I am a formational coach and believe that the outer goals we desire to pursue and achieve come from inner transformation. I enjoy working with leaders in innovative, creative and transitional spaces.  I am also trained spiritual director. I have served in the PCUSA for the last 30 years as a campus minster, teacher, church planter, pastor and spiritual guide.  I currently serve as the part time Director of Spiritual Life and Taizé Ministries at East Liberty Presbyterian Church.
