These questions may indeed be personal but are not entirely private, and are often best answered in and through community. The Courage to Lead is respectful. The retreat brings no pressure for sharing beyond what is comfortable and safe. In retreat we nurture our own identity and integrity, discovering and honoring our birthright gifts. The Courage to Lead reminds us that the leader's primary role is that of service.
True leadership is grounded in a state of being rather than doing.
Leadership comes from the identity and integrity of the leader and is not purely a matter of technique. The Courage to Lead has grown out of the Formation work of Dr. Parker Palmer. This retreat will be facilitated by Marianne Novak Houston. For a brochure, to register online, or to request more info, email us.
