About Course

Leadership doesn’t belong to the few with titles or platforms. If you influence anyone (at work, in a nonprofit, at church or in your community), you’re already leading. This program will help you do it well.

Over six weeks, you’ll work through short video lessons, practical workbook exercises and real-world “Leadership Labs” that help you put each idea into practice right away. You’ll start by taking the Next Level Self-Assessment, and you’ll finish with a personal Next Level Leadership Plan and a clear picture of how you’ve grown.

Six weeks, six themes

  • Week 1: Rethink Leadership. Leadership is influence, not a title.
  • Week 2: Leading Yourself First. Values, mindset and the rhythms that sustain you.
  • Week 3: Communication That Connects. Listening, clarity, feedback and difficult conversations.
  • Week 4: Building Trust & Relationships. One-on-ones, delegation and repairing trust.
  • Week 5: Servant Leadership in Action. Developing others and building a healthy culture.
  • Week 6: Leading Through Challenges. Change, conflict, resistance and resilience.
  • Bonus: Leading in the Digital Age. Remote teams, focus and your digital influence.

Each week also includes an optional Faith Connection for leaders who want to explore what Scripture says about the week’s theme.

Week 1: Rethink Leadership
Leadership is influence, not a title. You are already leading someone, whether you feel like a "leader" or not.

Week 2: Leading Yourself First
You can't lead others further than you've gone yourself. Self-leadership comes before team leadership.

Week 3: Communication That Connects
People don't follow what they don't understand. Great leaders listen first and speak clearly.

Week 4: Building Trust & Relationships
Trust is the currency of leadership. It's built slowly, through consistency, and it can be repaired.

Week 5: Servant Leadership in Action
The best leaders put the growth and well-being of their people first, and that makes teams stronger, not softer.

Week 6: Leading Through Challenges
Challenges don't mean you're failing. Resistance is often a sign you're moving in the right direction.

Bonus: Leading in the Digital Age
Leadership doesn't stop at the edge of a screen. Remote teams, constant notifications and online influence call for new habits.

Capstone: Your Next Level Leadership Plan
Bring everything together into a plan you can act on after the course ends.
