Testimonials
“Servant leadership is such a rewarding style of leadership. Throughout this academy, we were reminded that we were all called to serve first as part of being an effective leader. We were reminded how we can encourage and lead people to take action. We focused on how to build teams through effective communication, building trust, and empathy. Servant leadership creates a healthy, positive culture that encourages respect and value for all members while empowering others to grow and become leaders themselves. Thank you, CUI, for allowing me to grow in my own leadership and reminding me how amazing it is to be a servant leader.”

It is so important to spread these topics to educators all around the world. I hope every educator can attend a conference like the servant leadership one at Concordia.”

I leave each gathering feeling overwhelming pride to be in the field of education. I never as strongly feel that anywhere other than Concordia.”

“The Servant Leadership Institute has been one of the best conferences I have attended. There was so much thought and care that went into choosing speakers to share practical skills, practices, experiences, and research that applies to everyone in the field of education. There is something for everyone, no matter how much experience you have. It is so refreshing, and I left both sessions inspired, recharged, and wanting to share what I’ve learned.”
