Leadership isn't about expertise—it's about authenticity. When you release the beliefs that bind you and step into who you truly are, you naturally inspire others. This training helps you unpack your identity, shed the restrictions that keep you from being you, and develop the heart-centered leadership that transforms communities.
Why Authentic Leadership Matters Now More Than Ever
Whether you're a coach, facilitator, community builder, or emerging leader, the data is clear: people are desperate for genuine connection and authentic guidance.

 The world is crying out for authentic leaders who can hold space, build community, and guide without performing. When you lead from your true self rather than from expertise or credentials, people follow not because they have to, but because they're inspired to.
The Leadership You Were Born For
True leadership emerges when you stop performing and start being. This training guides you through deep personal work—uncovering the beliefs that have shaped your identity, releasing the restrictions that hold you back, and discovering the authentic leader within. As you become more fully yourself, you'll naturally uplift and inspire others to do the same. This isn't about learning techniques; it's about personal transformation that creates ripples of change in everyone you touch.
 Your Training Journey
Thursday Evening: Experience & Observe
Begin by experiencing what you'll offer others. Participate in a full Circles of Strength event—not as an expert, but as a human being. Feel what it means to be seen, to share authentically, and to witness others doing the same. This vulnerable beginning is essential; you cannot lead others where you haven't gone yourself.
Friday:Â Unpacking Who You Really Are
The deep work begins. We'll unpack the beliefs that have shaped your identity—the "shoulds," the inherited expectations, the protective masks. Through guided reflection, group dialogue, and personal excavation, you'll identify the restrictions that keep you from being fully you. Learn the foundations of holding space while simultaneously doing your own inner work. Discover that authentic leadership flows naturally when you're no longer performing.
Saturday: Embodying Authentic Leadership
Step into your authentic leadership voice through practice and feedback. With your restrictions loosened and your true self more accessible, practice facilitating from presence rather than expertise. Learn the practical skills of leading Circles while staying rooted in who you really are. Leave with clarity about your leadership "why," tools to continue your personal work, and confidence to inspire others by being fully yourself.

Who Should Attend
The Seeker
You sense there's more to leadership than what you've been taught. You're ready to shed the performance and discover who you really are beneath the expectations and lead how you feel is right.
The Burned Out Leader
You're tired of leading from obligation or position. You want to inspire naturally, lead from presence, and stop exhausting yourself trying to be everything to everyone.
The Connector
You see people's isolation and feel called to create spaces of genuine belonging. You know deep down you can do this—you just need permission and practice.
The Transformer
You've done your own inner work and want to share what you've learned. You're ready to guide others not as a guru, but as a fellow traveler who's walked the path.
The Reluctant Leader
People keep telling you you'd be a great leader, but the traditional model doesn't fit. You want to lead in a way that feels aligned with your values and authentic self.
The Heart-Centered Professional
You work in spaces—teams, organizations, communities—that desperately need authentic connection. You want to bring heart to wherever you lead.

This Isn't Your Typical TrainingÂ
Most leadership trainings teach you what to do. This one helps you discover who to be.
You won't sit through presentations on "leadership principles." You'll do vulnerable work on yourself. You won't memorize facilitation techniques. You'll identify and release the beliefs that keep you from being authentic. You won't graduate as an expert. You'll emerge as someone more fully yourself—and that authenticity is what will inspire others.
The Transformation Is Real
This training asks you to be vulnerable before you ask it of others. It asks you to look at the parts of yourself you've been hiding. It asks you to shed the identity you've constructed and risk being seen as you actually are.
That's uncomfortable. It's also liberating. And it's the only path to the kind of leadership that actually inspires people—not because you're performing leadership, but because you're being fully human.
Small Cohorts, Deep Work
We keep groups intentionally small because this work requires safety, trust, and attention. You can't unpack your identity in a room of 50 people. You can't practice authentic leadership in a lecture hall. This is intimate, transformative work that demands we create the kind of space we're teaching you to hold for others.
