Helping you to thrive in every area of your life.
Hello, I’m Annette
In my decades of experience in leadership, I have seen first hand the highs and lows that come with the role, particularly within a church context. Yet in my own experience of being mentored and having a supervisor, I have also learned that there are specific strategies you can put in place to protect your passion and set you up to not just survive as a leader, but to truly thrive. One of the key strategies I have found is having a network of support which includes a mentor or supervisor.
I’m passionate about teaching you these strategies so that you can better tend to your own life, family, church, and the broader community. I want to help set you up so that you can truly make a difference for many years to come.
Are you ready to get free from the daily grind of your leadership and take the first step towards freedom?
The heart of Tend Leaders
‘tend’ meaning, to care for or look after; give one’s attention to”
Tend Leaders came out of a passion from founder Annette Bartlett to come alongside those who are in the helping industries. Annette has been leading and helping people in a local church, movement of churches and community for over 30 years.
For 22 of those years, she served as a senior leader of a multi-site church that focused particularly on community engagement. Out of this life experience she became aware of a growing need for support of those in the important work of caring, ministering and helping those both in a community of faith and those in the broader community.
Annette has been trained and is practicing in faith informed coaching, mentoring and now professional supervision to be better equipped to ‘tend leaders’.
Annette is a mentor and supervisor with Chaplaincy Australia, AAOS Supervisor, a part of ACC NSW/ACT Mentoring Team, Supervisor for Baptist Churches NSW & Act and a part of Australian Christian Mentoring Network.
