Transformative Leader Essentials
The power of transformative leadership.
Transformative Leader Essentials (formerly Servant-Leader Essentials) builds and strengthens personal and professional leadership skills. This program is offered in-person, virtually or can be delivered at your location.
The goal of this leadership program is to introduce participants to the fundamentals of transformative leadership and enhance individual capacities to lead in teams and groups 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.

Achieving Impact: Although goals and short-term results are essential, participants will be asked to work toward aligning organizational and personal purpose for greater impact.
Methods Utilized
Participants gain insight into their own leadership philosophy by examining past and present leadership philosophies through the following methods:
- CliftonStrengths® Assessment
- Learning Circle Model
- Workbook
- Individual Reflection
- Small-Group Engagement Exercises
- Large Group Discussion
Sophia uses a Learning Circle Model for this program where participates engage in conversations based on what they name as wanting most to learn within the framework of the program. We assume everyone has something to share and everyone has something to learn – ideas, “ah-ha!” moments, and best practices come from the interaction between participants themselves, which can’t be replicated.
