Program Overview

Community of Practice sessions are amazing opportunities for any and all area leaders to gather and learn from each other. Through these monthly sessions, attendees build, share, and learn from others as a community of servant leaders. It’s highly interactive and each month a different servant leadership topic is explored. The same topic is covered during both sessions monthly (Coffee & Conversation and Leaders Do Lunch). Learn more about the Community of Practice program here.

About this Conversation

Coffee & Conversation is a hybrid platform for learning about your individual servant leadership strengths and learning new practices through small group discussion, facilitated conversations, and personal reflection. This event happens on the third Friday of each month from 7:30 – 8:30 a.m. CST virtually via Zoom.

This month’s topic: Learning Lessons from Dare to Lead by Brene Brown

Brene Brown helps individuals find their way back to themselves and one another through brave work, tough conversations, and whole hearts.

In this session, Christa Williams, Executive Director and Learning Facilitator at Sophia, shares reflections and learning lessons from Brown’s research and experiences to invite everyone, regardless of title, to be more daring leaders (in organizations and life). In the book, Brown shares a collection of skills and practices that are 100 percent teachable, if we are willing to learn and unlearn much of what we thought leadership was all about. These servant leadership lessons will extend beyond what professional leadership looks like and encourage participants to think deeper about how to be more daring leaders in all aspects of life.

In small group discussions and reflective exercises, you will take away tools and resources for later reflection.

*You do not need to read the book to attend this session. The session will be recorded.
