A 4-session online program for leading in ways which feel healthier, more humane and life-giving
- Are you sensing that the old models of leadership are not up to the complexities we’re facing?
- Are you looking to embody leadership in ways which feel healthier, more humane and life-giving?
- Are you yearning for a supportive community in which to explore new ways of leading?
If these are questions you’re interested in exploring, please consider joining us for this Courage to Lead® Retreat Series.
‘Leadership’ is a concept we often resist. It seems immodest, even self-aggrandizing, to think of ourselves as leaders. But if it is true that we are made for community, then leadership is everyone’s vocation, and it can be an evasion to insist that it is not. When we live in the close-knit ecosystem called community, everyone follows and everyone leads.

Courage to Lead® is rooted in the belief that effective leadership flows from the identity and integrity of the person. This Courage & Renewal helps us to move beyond leadership techniques and tools to (re)connect with the essence of what guides and sustains us in our life and work.
At the heart of authentic leadership is the courage to be fully human – to take risks, to care deeply and to take action even in the midst of change and uncertainty. Courage to Lead® is rooted in the belief that effective leadership flows from the identity and integrity of the person. Courage retreats and programs help us to move beyond leadership techniques and tools to (re)connect with the essence of what guides and sustains us in our life and work.
In this Courage to Lead retreat we invite you to join in a global community to explore our own leadership through metaphors offered by maps and navigation: to reconnect with our inner compass and to the sense of purpose that calls us out into the world. Through conversation, creative process and deep listening, we hold space for each other to find new ways to travel among the harsh realities and hopeful possibilities in our leadership and work.
Courage and Renewal® retreats:
- Renew heart, mind and spirit through the exploration of the inner and outer landscapes of our lives
- Identify and honor our gifts and strengths, and acknowledge our limits and boundaries
- Move beyond either-or thinking into holding paradox and complexity in life-giving ways
- Connect us with others seeking similar insights — who listen to and encourage each other, who honor each other’s differences
- Explore the connection between attending to the inner dimension of our lives and the impact we have on personal and professional communities

These programs and retreats are rooted in the Circle of Trust approach, which has a common set of principles & practices. These principles & practices provide a strong foundation and trustworthy container for a process of shared exploration of vocation, life and work.
