Servant-Leader Essentials
Realize your leadership potential through self-discovery.
Servant-Leader Essentials is an in-person and virtual program to build and strengthen your personal and professional leadership skills.
The goal of this leadership program is to build individuals’ capacities to serve and lead in organizations and across communities through skill-building exercises and group learning.
What to Expect
This program requires a commitment to attend all sessions during the scheduled times.
Who should attend?
Anyone – at any level – is welcome. Small business, corporate, nonprofit, education, government, healthcare, faith, etc. This series builds individual leadership capacities for all people.
Is there “homework?”
Actual “homework” is less than 1 hour per session. The real homework is putting the concepts, skills, and ideas shared in the class into action in your everyday personal and professional life.

- CliftonStrengths® Assessment
- Learning Circle Model
- Workbook
- Individual Reflection
- Small-Group Engagement Exercises

Sophia uses a Learning Circle Model for this program where the most essential ideas, “ah-ha!” moments, and best practices come from the interaction between participants themselves, which can’t be replicated in a make-up session.
