companies a unique, high quality and contextually relevant leadership educa onal curriculum. At the heart of the SLI
curriculum and all educa onal experiences are challenging spiritual leadership development courses. These courses
integrate world class teaching, leadership case studies, intensive Bible study, the discipline of daily abiding, genuine
fellowship, dedicated prayer and personal disciplers. Each is tailored to the unique responsibili es and challenges
Chrihrist-following CEOs and senior execu ves face at home and in the marketplace. Our overall desire is to reach, disciple,
C

Influence. This course is taught primarily by Dr. Richard Blackaby, noted author and
speaker, along with a team of teaching faculty from CEO Forum. It meets three mes

transporta on and hotel expenses. For CEO Forum members, all materials, teaching

includes in-dencludes in-depth biblical teaching and study, case studies integra ng spiritual and
i
secular perspec ves, small group sessions, focused prayer me, communion and
meals together with your colleagues. One-on-one discipleship occurs between

One of the most meaningful and impac ul aspects of SLI courses is a discipleship rela onship between the student and
an SLI alumnus. You and your discipler will schedule a monthly call or an occasional in-person mee ng to discuss SLI
materials, pray and talk about other aspects of life/interest. This discipleship rela onship is a vital aspect of making
