The Challenge of Transformative Leadership

​

The sobering truth about transformative leadership is that the average tenure for leaders in this space is short, typically lasting only 2 1/2 to 3 years. Why? Because driving change is incredibly challenging, and stakeholders often fear the losses that change may entail.

​

The EMBER (Embracing Mind, Body, and Energy Restoration) Strategy Institute: Restoring and Sustaining Transformative Leadership.

​

The aim of the EMBER Leadership Retreat is to restore and retain transformative leaders committed to ensuring that demographics do not dictate destiny for children. During this transformative institute, participants will explore how self-knowledge, self-discipline, and self-restoration form the foundation for long-term leadership resilience.

​

Most importantly, participants will discover the power of restoration and mindfulness as essential tools for change management, self-preservation, and overall well-being.

​

Our Approach: Lead with GRACE

 

At the heart of the EMBER Leadership Retreat is our proprietary Lead with GRACE Framework, which guides participating leaders through a self-discovery process of understanding the application of Grace, Reflection, Awareness, Candor, and Empathy in an adaptive and human-centered approach to transformative work. During the EMBER Leadership Retreat, we apply adaptive leadership theory to practice, clarifying the intricate relationship among key concepts such as leadership, management, authority, power, influence, followership, and citizenship. Our approach provides a practical and coherent theoretical framework for transformative leadership.
