Bring Your Team & Invest in a Full-Day of Learning with Bob Upgren
Increasing your leadership capacity is not about gathering the endless ideas you think you need to learn. It’s about identifying and applying the very few leadership concepts you should never forget.Â
In this highly customized event, leadership expert, Bob Upgren brings a full-day workshop LIVE to Fargo, ND. Bring your team and join an exclusive group of leaders who understand the value of taking time to invest in their personal leadership growth. The SDL Individual Growth Workshop is a rare opportunity to learn directly from Bob Upgren in a space designed for deep learning, strategizing, and team discussions on application and implementation.Â
The hard truth is, there is no magic pill when it comes to leadership. There is, however, a set of personal standards that have proven themselves to work again and again in anyone's life. Standards that when applied together, produce amazing results in one's personal and professional life. In this workshop, Bob Upgren not only teaches this personal leadership framework, but helps you understand how to apply it each and every day!

The Servant-Driven Leadership GROWTH CONCEPTS as described by BOB UPGREN
Throughout history, leadership ideas have been passed down to impart wisdom to future generations. The SERVANT-DRIVEN LEADERSHIP® Growth Concepts pull together decades of research into one framework that has been proven to strengthen a person's effectiveness in literally any category of life. The mentoring that takes place in this highly customized workshop is simply “the best of the best” when it comes to personal leadership. The “secret sauce of leadership”, if you will, that is rarely brought to the forefront. Â
Why are these concepts less commonly taught? Perhaps it’s because we’ve become quite good at studying leadership from a distance, never wanting to be vulnerable enough to make this a personal journey. We discuss leadership in theory just enough to make it sound like we know what we’re talking about. It’s safe to talk about leadership in this way. To make it a broad concept and not a personal one.Â
The striking reality, however, is that leadership is, and always will be, an inside-out process. And you and I will never be able to lead others until we can lead ourselves. That’s why this event is so important.Â
