Workshop: The Three G's of Leadership

This experiential workshop will explore a simple conceptual framework - the 3 Gs of Leadership: Gratitude, Generosity, and Grace. Using poetry from the book Leading From Within: Poetry that Sustains the Courage To Lead to support our reflections on leadership, these queries will be addressed: How do we discern, develop, and take action? How do we discover leadership and support emerging leaders as we respond to the challenges and opportunities we face? How do we provide spiritual leadership in our world for peace, justice and an earth restored?
