/ The Curriculum

Three courses. Practical strategies. One goal.

Equipping social impact leaders to build stronger, more sustainable organizations prepared for what’s next.

Workshop One

The Responsibility of Innovation

Leading with Governance, Ethics & Impact

Innovation must be guided by thoughtful leadership and sound governance. In this session, you’ll explore how leaders can embrace emerging technologies and new opportunities while navigating the real-world challenges of ethical decision-making, organizational risk, data stewardship, and accountability. You’ll learn how to put the right guardrails in place to protect trust, strengthen transparency, and make bold decisions without compromising your mission or values. You’ll leave equipped to establish clear decision-making standards, evaluate emerging opportunities and risks, and lead your organization confidently through innovation and change.

Workshop Two

Your AI Dream Team

Putting Agents to Work in Your Organization

The most sustainable organizations of the next decade won't just have better plans, they'll have an AI workforce working alongside their people. In this hands-on session, you'll watch AI agents get built live, right in front of you, to handle the work that drains your team: drafting proposals and reports, managing follow-up, researching funders and partners, answering routine questions, and keeping operations on track. You'll leave with ready-to-use prompts, workflows and a 12-month roadmap for building an organization that achieves more with the team you already have.

Workshop Three

Leadership That Endures

Building a Legacy of Sustainable Community Impact

Organizational endurance requires more than a powerful vision; it requires the leadership and strategy to build something that lasts. Through an executive case study of Chairman T.D. Jakes’ decades-long commitment to community transformation and institution building, you’ll examine the decisions, partnerships, innovations, and leadership principles that have helped turn vision into sustained impact. You’ll explore real-world lessons in organizational growth, strategic decision-making, partnership development, and long-term sustainability. You’ll leave equipped to translate vision into strategy, build partnerships that accelerate your mission, and make leadership decisions that position your organization for lasting impact.
