PURSUING A MORE LOVING AND JUST SOCIETY Workshops – Round 1

BE, DO, SHARE: A Simple Roadmap to Your Journey as a Servant-Leader

Claudia Beeny, Founder and Executive Director, House of Shine

Navigating your journey as a servant-leader can seem daunting without a roadmap to guide you along the way. BE-DO-SHARE is a simple construct used by the non-profit, House of Shine, when setting people on the path to servant-leadership. Supported by research and years of experience, their framework provides practical ways to help people find and stay on course.  

Workshop B:

Servant Leaders: Police Officers Rising Above Adversity and Accomplishing the Extraordinary

Mac Tristan, Chief, Coppell (TX) Police Department

Danny Barton, Captain, Coppell (TX) Police Department

Imagine coming to work every day knowing that some people will judge you, even hate you just because of what you wear to work, and what you represent.  Imagine that while knowing this, you still do your best to serve everyone you come in contact with while at work and even away from work.  That is what the Coppell Police Department is committed to.  How did we accomplish this?  Through the principles of Servant Leadership.

Workshop C:

It’s Not About Me, But It Starts With Me

Kelvin Redd, Founder/Managing Partner, Redd Consulting Group

Are you in your job to do something or to have something to do? What are your talents? What are your passions? Do you know who you are? Self-awareness is a key first step to being a successful and effective servant leader. This workshop is a holistic approach to leadership concerned with the totality of the individual, the self, and the people you serve.  Prepare to gain a deeper understanding of your own hopes, dreams, and desires while developing the ability to understand and serve others better.

Workshop D:

Developing and Supporting the Next Generation Leaders (panel discussion)

Greenleaf told us that “Where there is not community, trust, respect, ethical behavior are difficult for the young to learn and for the old to maintain.”  With 4 generations in the workforce today, we must pay attention to how the Boomers and Gen X, pass the baton and enable those we describe as millennials”.  We have read the literature, we sometime rebuff them as “entitled”, we RAISED them!  When we pass the baton will it be to a servant-leader?  Unless we are intentional about their development, there will not be enough who embrace servant leadership to bring about a more caring society.  WHAT DO WE DO NOW?
