Programs at SWLI
At the Shifting Waters Leadership Institute (SWLI), we believe true excellence begins within and flows outward into public brilliance. Transformation requires both the heart and the hard work of formation. SWLI offers two flagship formation journeys designed to cultivate integrity, emotional maturity, and spiritual grounding — one for individual leaders, and one for organizations. Both are rooted in The Formidable 8: The Restoration Path – From Awareness to Action.
Why Whole-Person Formation Matters
Transformation is sustained only when the leader is formed in every dimension — mind, body, soul, and spirit.
Our programs combine reflection and accountability with evidence-based practices and spiritual grounding to help leaders build integrity, clarity, and resilience.
Program Pathways

What Makes SWLI Programs Unique
Unlike traditional leadership development programs that focus on skills or performance, SWLI forms the inner world of the leader — where decisions, ethics, and integrity are born.
The Shifting Waters Leadership Institute develops leaders who lead with wholeness, integrity, accountability, and purpose. Rooted in the belief that every person is made in the image of God—the Imago Dei—SWLI cultivates communities where leaders grow together and inspire lasting change.
