鈥淭he point is not to become a leader. The point is to become yourself, to use yourself completely 鈥� all your skills, gifts and energies 鈥� in order to make your vision manifest. You must withhold nothing. You must, in sum, become the person you started out to be and to enjoy the process of becoming.鈥�

What is Authentic Leadership?

Authentic leadership is a leadership style grounded in self-awareness, ethical values and relational transparency, in which leaders act with integrity and openness. It involves taking purposeful action that aligns personal strengths with the needs of the context, fostering trust and credibility. Authentic leaders build genuine relationships and lead in a way that is both principled and responsive.

What is Hope鈥檚 Leadership Approach?

We blend Hope College鈥檚 commitment to authentic, servant-oriented and hope-filled leadership with the Boerigter Center for Calling and Career鈥檚 expertise in helping people align who they are with what they do. 

What is Different About Our Retreat?

• Anchoring Leaders for Team Impact
  Studies have shown that when leaders understand their own strengths and limitations, it positively influences team satisfaction, commitment and performance. This self-awareness also serves as a reliable foundation for making decisions and taking purposeful action.
• Retreat Enviroment
  Expect a rhythm of learning, careful reflection and conversation 鈥� not lecture-heavy sessions. It will be a renewing time with space to pause, consider and respond.

  Every participant leaves with individualized leadership development strategies and access to follow-up coaching.
• Small Cohorts. Big Impact.
  Retreat cohorts of 8-15 fellow leaders allow for real connection, depth of conversation and personalized support.
• An Integrated Experience
  Unlike MBA-style executive education that focuses primarily on skills and strategies, or consultant-led training that emphasizes techniques, this retreat integrates the whole person. We draw on Hope College鈥檚 distinctive resources 鈥� our commitment to hope and authenticity, our expertise in helping people align their gifts with their work and our foundation in servant leadership. The result is a retreat that鈥檚 both deeply personal and practically relevant.
