"In Cultivating a Servant Heart, author Caitlin Wilson collects stories and insights on the inward journeys of a diverse range of servant leaders, woven with the unifying threads of our past, present, and future. The inspiring insights and stories are shared by servant leaders who have made it their life's work to serve in several different types of environments-schools, nonprofits, corporations, faith communities, and city streets. These leaders describe their childhoods, journeys, visions of the future, and their passions-all of which continue to cultivate their servant hearts. Their insights come serving a wide variety of humans-those who are learning, working, experiencing homelessness, struggling with addiction, teaching. In essence, this is a book about how servant leaders have, and continue to nurture hearts of love-work of softening of the heart that is never done. It is a guide for all of us who seek to serve others, build compassion and open hearts, and develop stronger communities, whether within our organizations or in our towns and cities. These insights can be applied anywhere and to all of us. The book also includes guidance for readers on how to conduct their own sacred listening"--,Provided by publisher.
