    What is Servant Leadership Certification?

    A 10-month long curriculum designed to (1) introduce you to the concepts of servant leadership and (2) immerse you in an environment that helps you apply servant leadership in your personal and professional life.


    Our Certification Philosophy

    1. Certification is a holistic process that weaves the fragments of your life into a unified whole. It is an integration of:
    ·  Personal
    ·  Interpersonal
    ·  Organizational
    ·  Community
    2. Certification is not only a credential process, it is a significant rite of passage from one phase of your life to another.
