Course Description
During this time of continuous disruption and global transformation, many of us live in a complex landscape fraught with isolation and demanding levels of attentiveness. As servant leaders dedicated to our families, organizations, and clients, we excel at prioritizing everyone and everything on our to-do lists. But we often lose sight of prioritizing ourselves, neglecting the core values and practices that distinguish us as leaders and vital contributors in our communities.
In this interactive workshop, Dr. Gloria Burgess, pioneer in leadership formation, master facilitator, and acclaimed poet and author, invites you to realign with values, practices, and choices that enliven your leadership. Participants will explore the concept of sanctuary, intentionally creating time to reflect on work, center on practices that help us realign with what holds heart and meaning, and reconnect with our inner wisdom and purpose as servant leaders. Sessions will include small group exercises, dialogue, reflection, and other integrative modalities.
This highly experiential workshop will provide you with a comprehensive set of strategies and practices aimed at supporting you to become more intentional in stewarding your resources at work and beyond. The course is designed for organizational leaders, coaches, therapists, consultants, health care practitioners, educators, clergy, social workers, and others in the helping professions who seek to invest in their leadership formation, improve impact and sustainability at work, and renew motivation to engage with empathy, creativity, and graciousness.
Drawing on relevant research from behavioral science, leadership, the arts, positive organizational scholarship, neuroscience, and perennial wisdom traditions, we will create a vibrant community of learning and belonging.
