LDP is about building a foundation of character, so that you can lead yourself and influence others. There are plenty of leadership courses, books and videos that will teach you how to manage people, but this is not that!
Instead, we start on the inside. Over the year we look at what really shapes us: who God says we are, what drives us, and how He wants to work through us in our everyday work. You’ll come away ready to lead from who you are, not from who you think you should be.
Each month, we meet as a group over dinner to explore a new topic. The themes span three key areas:
Some of our most popular topics include how faith integrates with work, and how to disciple others in everyday life.
Between meetings, you’ll complete a short assignment (1–2 hours a month) to help put learning into practice. You’ll also meet one-on-one with another participant for peer feedback. This is consistently one of the highlights for those who’ve done the process.
Duration: 9 months (8 core topics, see below)
Commitment: Around 6 hours per month, including the group dinner
Format: Monthly group meeting, short assignment, and peer feedback
