The Art of Leadership
November 17, 2014
Do you want:
- to live and lead from your life purpose for social change?
- to learn how to build and maintain collaborative partnership?
- to bring your life and work into balance, so that you can sustain your energy for a lifetime of activism?
After the Art of Leadership Training, You Can Expect To:
- Articulate an inspiring and clear vision for your work
- Deal more effectively with organizational and leadership challenges
- Skillfully manage relationships to increase personal and organizational effectiveness
- Build strong partnerships inside and outside your organization and community
Art of Leadership is:
- A five-day intensive residential retreat that teaches powerful visioning, listening, speaking, presentation, team-building and feedback skills to emerging and established social change leaders.
- Taught in an intimate learning community limited to 24-30 emerging and longtime leaders, working across a wide range of issues: climate change, human and civil rights, arts and cultural work.
- Led by nationally recognized thinkers, educators and activists who are experts at sharing in-depth insights and innovative leadership practices.
- All retreats are held in beautiful retreat settings in California and on the East Coast.
The Training Curriculum Includes:
Inner Reflection - Many social change leaders are so focused on their organizations that they don't have space to reflect on their own needs as a leader. The Art of Leadership offers leaders time and reflective space to examine their strengths and challenges.
Practical Tools - Over the course of five days, leaders engage in hands-on practice in planning, public speaking, stress-management practices and courageous conversations. Leaders receive a personalized 360 degree leadership assessment to help set leadership performance goals.
Powerful Community - Each training convenes 24-30 leaders working in different organizations and issue areas. The Art of Leadership fosters learning partnerships through pair and small group work, as well as post-retreat peer support.
