LeaderShape
What is the LeaderShape Institute?
The LeaderShape Institute challenges participants to lead with integrity while working towards a vision grounded in their deepest values. Participants explore not only what they want to do, but who they want to be.
Dynamic, challenging, and exciting, the week is intended to produce a breakthrough in the leadership capacity of participants—benefiting them individually, as well as their respective communities and the organizations they will go on to lead and serve in the future. Through self-assessment, intensive small group discussions, team building challenges, and more, participants will develop a vision for something they are passionate about.
