Three-year Cycle of Classes and Work

The School for Leadership Program consists of three annual cycles. During the first cycle, participating leaders focus on mastering and applying the distinctions in their own leadership. During the second cycle, participating leaders shift their focus to coaching others as they master and apply the distinctions. Finally, during the third cycle, participating leaders focus on the ability to re-create and transfer the distinctions to others.

In each cycle:

• Foundations of Transformational Leadership, five-day residential

  A five-day program that grounds participants in the fundamental distinctions of grassroots transformational leadership. Participant leaders will gather from around the world to work directly with faculty and coaches.

• Regional School for Leadership Conference, three days

  A three-day program conducted in participants’ home countries to deepen and strengthen the work begun in the Foundations of Transformational Leadership.

• Leadership Dialogues: Beyond the Fundamentals
