Our Mission:
Empower African leaders as agents of transformation for individuals, organizations and society.
Like drops of water create ripples moving outward, our network members focus on the flourishing of the INDIVIDUALS around them: family, friends and work colleagues.
As more individuals flourish, the ripples of change move into the ORGANIZATIONS where they work–government agencies, NGO’s, churches, schools and universities, and professional groups.
And when organizations begin to thrive in new ways, their ripples begin to overlap and create new health and human wholeness across SOCIETY itself.
Lasting change in society flows from empowered leaders becoming agents of transformation in their families and organizations.
Calling forth and equipping these empowered leaders is our mission at LCN.
Our Vision:
Equip and organize 1,000 passionate African leaders into relational networks that empower genuine transformation at all levels.
Our Guiding Commitments
-
Our training courses are accredited by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the “gold standard” of coaching across 140 nations worldwide, and meet ICF’s high standards of quality and excellence.
-
We are committed to support our graduates and partner organizations in worldview growth that provides a strong and effective foundation for our transformational journeys.
-
While our organization offers a Christian faith perspective, we welcome all students and partners who yearn to help others grow into the deep human wholeness that the Bible calls “Shalom.”
Strategic direction #1
ENCOURAGE STUDENTS TO COMPLETE THEIR ICF COACHING CREDENTIALS IN 2025.
Goal:
10 leaders receive an ICF coaching credential by the end of 2025, including at least one leader from Zimbabwe, Malawi, and Egypt, as well as Ethiopia.
Situation:
Currently 45 leaders in our program are pursuing an ICF coaching credential. At least 20 could complete their credential this year.
Alignment with Mission/ Vision:
Our vision is to empower servant leaders who will create self-perpetuating networks to empower new generations. ICF credentialed coaches will master the skills and bring the motivation to develop these networks as organizers, role models and thought leaders.
