Roundtables of Leaders

A small group of peers gather in a three-day retreat for intimate dialogue uncovering ones purpose, vision, and values. Groups then meet monthly for a year to grow leadership by applying the proverb "iron sharpens iron"

An appointed mentor and sponsor in conjunction with a local RoundTable coach-facilitator bring together a small group of non-competing peers. While they learn and grow together, members act as trusted collaborators on life’s challenges. These peer learning groups jell in an introductory three-day retreat that launches the year-long process.

Groups generally meet monthly for multi-hour gatherings to further develop their own perspectives. Approximately half of each monthly session addresses various life principles such as values, purpose, vision, and strength. In addition to discussions of purposeful living principles, a group may address a specific challenge brought forth by a member of the group in an open forum case study (sometimes called the “hot seat”), where members can share ideas on the topic and provide feedback. Groups may also meet in order to stay connected or hear from outside speakers or subject-matter experts.

You may have heard of similar groups based in various communities around the country. While the RoundTable is similar to some of these other groups, there are several important distinctions. First, our groups are smaller in size (7-8) creating a more private and confidential environment that gives more personal attention to each member. Second, we focus on uncovering each person’s purpose as well as providing practical approaches to each member’s specific ethical and organizational dilemmas. Finally, we use a proven methodology called Inside First® developed over 15 years by members of the Alliance’s Board of Trustees.
