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. \nAbout this Conversation \nLeaders Do Lunch is a fully virtual offering for learning about your individual servant leadership strengths and learning new practices through small group discussion\, facilitated conversations\, and personal reflection where bringing your lunch is encouraged. This event happens on the fourth Tuesday of each month from 11:30 a.m. – 12:30 p.m. CST via Zoom. \nThis month’s topic: Learning Lessons from Dare to Lead by Brene Brown \nBrene Brown helps individuals find their way back to themselves and one another through brave work\, tough conversations\, and whole hearts. \nIn 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. \nIn small group discussions and reflective exercises\, you will take away tools and resources for later reflection. \n*You do not need to read the book to attend this session. The session will be recorded. \nRegistration is required for the Zoom link in order to participate. Registration is open now here!

Greenleaf\, when he published his 1970 essay “The Servant as Leader”\, proposed that service ought to be the distinguishing characteristic of leadership. Not only would it create a better\, stronger society\, but people themselves “would find greater joy in their lives if they raised the servant aspect of their leadership and built more serving institutions”.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nIn this session\, we will explore questions such as:\n– Do servant leaders really experience greater joy?\n– Does joy at work contribute to greater success in workplace teams?\n– What is the difference between joy and other emotions such as happiness?\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChrista Williams\, Executive Director of Sophia Transformative Leadership Partners\, will facilitate this session through small group discussion\, personal reflection exercises and bite-sized\, actionable take-aways.\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis month’s conversation will only be held via Zoom. This session will be recorded. There is no cost to attend. Please register at the Zoom link below to obtain the video link for the time of the event: Register here\n\n\n\n\nWhat is a Servant Leadership Community of Practice? It is a monthly opportunity for leaders to gather and learn from each other about actively practicing servant leadership\, both individually and organizationally. As a peer-facilitated meeting\, attendees can expect to learn best practices\, explore questions\, share servant-leadership success stories and meaningful resources.
