What is transformational servant leadership?
A way of leading and a way of life.
We view transformational servant leadership as a synergistic alchemy of servant leadership and transformational leadership. The foundation of servant leadership is spiritual and the focus is on the growth and wellbeing of people and communities. At the heart of transformational leadership is emotional connection and the inspiration to live into something greater than yourself. Transformational servant leaders explore the deeper themes of life with love, compassion, empathy, curiosity and vision. We recognize the interconnectedness of all that is and empower others to grow and create positive impact.
It guides our service projects.
We work with local communities and agencies to identify their needs and goals by asking them how we can help. Through open communication and collaboration, we design service projects that address those needs in a sustainable and impactful way. Travelers become active participants in this process, serving the community under the guidance and leadership of local experts.
We embody the ethos.
Your skills and energy (superpowers) contribute to our projects and create meaningful cultural and knowledge exchanges with those we serve. This promotes long-term self-sufficiency and empowers communities to thrive beyond our visit. You serve with empathy and respect, learning from local traditions and perspectives. Locals, in turn, benefit from exposure to different cultures and ideas, fostering a sense of interconnectedness and mutual understanding.
We empower communities.
We support the local businesses where we travel by booking accommodation, food service, transportation and activities directly with them or with companies that channel resources back into the community. Travelers become patrons and participants in the local economy, contributing to its growth and prosperity.
You bring it home.
You come home from our trips with a renewed sense of purpose, newfound skills, and a lasting connection to the places you visit. We help you bring the principles of transformational servant leadership back into your communities, organizations and families through ongoing training, resources and support.
