A two-day, application-based experience for leaders ready to do the work that titles and credentials cannot do for them.
November 19–20, 2026 · COWO & Crèche, Old Town Alexandria · $500, all-inclusive
Most leadership development sharpens performance. This incubator is built for something different: restoration.
Over two days in Old Town Alexandria, twenty to thirty leaders will gather in a room built for honesty rather than performance. Circle seating. Small groups. No stage. Just the hard, human work of dealing with soul, body, and mind, so that what you build from here comes from a whole place rather than a depleted one.
This is not a conference. It is application-based, and every application is read.
Built on the Formidable 8©
This weekend is grounded in the Formidable 8©, Grace Adofoli’s federally copyrighted leadership restoration model. The framework moves leaders from awareness to action across four dimensions of who they are: mind, body, soul, and spirit. It does not ask you to perform leadership. It asks you to become the kind of leader your life and your people actually need.
Who should apply
- Early-career leaders still finding their footing
- Founders and entrepreneurs building something of their own
- Senior leaders and executives responsible for others' growth
- Anyone leading outside a title, in their community, family, or faith space
If you are tired of optimizing and ready to be formed, this is for you.
What is included
- Both full days of programming, November 19 and 20
- Lunch both days
- Group activities built around the Formidable 8©
- A personal leadership assessment
- A small-group coaching session with Grace Adofoli
Investment: $500, all-inclusive
