Each session of The LeaderShape® Institute is comprised of

• approximately 60 men and women
• representing diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds.

Everyone is a teacher and everyone is a learner because Leadershape utilizes

• highly interactive program methods
• rather than classroom lectures.

Learning Communities and Family Clusters are utilized.

• The majority of work is done in a large group called the Learning Community.
• From this larger group, smaller groups, called Family Clusters, are formed
• where participants work on their vision statements.

The term "family" is not hyperbole;

• participants work closely together and quickly form meaningful friendships.
• The Family Cluster provides a supportive, safe environment
• that promotes learning and the development of new skills and attitudes.

The Team Challenge Course

• Another unique feature of The LeaderShape® Institute is the Team Challenge Course.
• This half-day outdoor team-building experience teaches the concepts of trust, communication, and group problem solving.

The LeaderShape® Institute's hands-on, multidimensional curriculum is presented by a group of facilitators who volunteer to devote a week to helping develop leaders. While each of them has experience working with young adults, they are all highly respected in their own professions and serve as excellent leadership role models for the students.

In addition, prominent Guest Leaders, government, and the non-profit sector, spend an evening with participants discussing the tough issues leaders face on a daily basis.

Participants work closely together and quickly form meaningful friendships. Each session of The LeaderShape® Institute is comprised of approximately 60 men and women representing diverse ethnic, religious, and cultural backgrounds.

leadership is defined by results not attributes."
