This month’s topic:  It’s Not About the Coffee

In his book “It’s Not About the Coffee: Leadership Principles from a Life at Starbucks,” Former President of Starbucks International Howard Behar shares ten principles that have guided his leadership.

In this session, Christa Williams, Executive Director and Learning Facilitator will kick off the 2022 servant leadership community of practice series by sharing a summary of one of the books that truly informed her own leadership journey.  In this book, Howard Behar advocates for personal leadership and putting others first as the foundation for “real” leadership.  

In small group discussions and reflective exercises, we will discern how to apply the 10 leadership lessons defined by Behar, personally and professionally.  

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

Registration is required for the Zoom link in order to participate. Registration is open now here!

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).
