city-house-inner-leadership-brochure-fall-09

We are delighted to once again offer the Inner Leadership: Choosing to Learn from Mentors on the Margins program this fall.

This program is for mainstream leaders from all sectors (government, business, religious, and nonprofit).  It is for those who have moved beyond the success/ skill set stage of leadership and:

Have made or want to make the interior turn

Have made or want to make the transition to power by reflection;

Already take or would like to take their spirituality seriously;

Want to leave their comfort zone and learn from mentors they least expect;

Want to change their own lives and live out of a deeper sense of purpose;

Want to grow as leaders in a safe environment

4 learners from last year’s program have already stepped forward to “pay it forward” for this year’s learners!!  We are looking for new learners to step forward, and / or nominees for new learners that you think might benefit from this program, and / or new sponsors to financially sponsor even more learners.

To find out more, attend our information session. Please RSVP if you plan on attending.

A friend of mine, Michael Bischoff, is taking a year’s sabbatical and doing research on the spirit of institutions.  He has begun a blog where he reports and reflects on what he is learning. The Spirit of Institutions  It overlaps in some ways with City House’s work on The Inner Leadership Program, where we invite mainstream leaders into relationships where they are mentored by someone on the margins of society. The premise of this program is that relationships with persons on the margins will lead them beyond their ego and the achievement / success stage of leadership.

MIchael was a learner in that pilot program this fall, and he was mentored by Charles Simmons, an ex-felon. Michael interviews Charles in this video on his blog.
