Our Approach
As a 501(c)3 community-benefit, nonprofit organization, we bring out the best in people, groups, organizations and communities! Through our programs we are dedicated to inspiring, guiding, and connecting anyone who wants to embrace transformative leadership.
Our Mission
To nurture the spirit, dignity and potential of people through transformative compassionate leadership.
Leadership has transformative power. If you ask us, it’s a superpower really. While there isn’t simply one way to do it right, there is a certain style that produces consistent impact. At Sophia, we advance a leadership style that puts service and growth of others before self. A leadership style that prioritizes relationship building and mutual accountability while experiencing tremendous progress and results.
With the proper mindset and authentic transformative leadership behaviors, we’ve witnessed individuals light up, bring their whole self to the table and reach new heights of self-awareness, personal growth, and professional accomplishments. THAT is the kind of leadership we’re looking to spread out into our teams, our organizations, our communities and beyond.
Our Philosophy
It starts with you. Self-awareness + reflection…Sophia is dedicated to unleashing the passion and potential of all people through transformative leadership that creates collaborative and thriving spaces and places. We are focused on those ready and dedicated to exploring and being their best self.
Sophia is focused on conversation as critical to leadership between people, within groups, across organizations and the community as a whole. Creating an environment for conversation about issues that matter to people results in caring about innovation, engagement, and commitment to performance.
Practice makes Growth. The role of a leader is to create a space where their team members can become more than they’ve ever been before and more than they’ve dreamed of being. The role of Sophia is to partner with individuals in their leadership journey as they serve others and lead in efforts to evoke this space.
Our Vision = Create Caring Community
At the end of the day, we work to bring together individuals across diverse sectors throughout our community. Civil officers, nonprofits, small business, faith and education leaders, corporate, and beyond. Creating shared learning experiences and common language lays the groundwork for stronger conversations, greater understanding, cross-sector collaboration and caring for others as a community.
