Collaborative Leadership is a dynamic leadership retreat that informs and transforms your perception of self as leader. Together, we consider working collaboratively, conceptions of leadership, and how to grow and sustain yourself as a collaborative leader.

Though many traditional learning methods, such as seminars and discussion groups, are used at the Retreat, the overall construct for learning is based on building and solidifying a community of practice.
