2017 VSLLC® Enrollment is Now Open!

By Duane Trammell

TMCA and the Sophia Foundation are excited to announce that the enrollment period for the 2017 Virtual Servant Leadership Learning Community® has begun!

The VSLLC® is one of my favorite programs that we offer. In the many years of working in servant leadership training and development, I have often focused more on the “outer journey” of creating tools and finding ways to serve others. But equally important is the “inner journey” of feeding, nourishing, and growing our own servant leadership spirits. In this past year of my business partner’s Ann McGee-Cooper’s illness and death, the deep friendships and support that I received through my co-facilitators helped me make it through to the other side of this major transition. Many others have used the VSLLC® to help them pause, reflect, and weather transitions that have occurred in their lives—whether it was organizational challenges or personal challenges where fresh insights were needed.

The program includes nine 90-minute tele-circles (a phone call that is intentionally a “circle” so that every person has an opportunity to speak and be deeply heard) each focusing on a theme of servant leadership. Sessions are facilitated by Dr. Deborah Welch, Dr. Virginia Gilmore, and myself (Duane Trammell).

Those interested in participating in the program can find a program description and application at http://amca.com/servant-leadership/virtual-sllc/. Please submit an application and you will be interviewed for acceptance into the program. The program is limited to ten participants. We hope to hear from you!
