Guest Information

Episode Description

Founded in 1974, Friends of Guest House helps Northern Virginian women make successful transitions from incarceration back into the community. Their mission? To provide women with a criminal history the structure, supervision, support and assistance they need to become self-sufficient and responsible members of the community. Friends of Guest House address the root causes of the vicious cycle of crime by offering programs that focus on core issues ranging from trauma and addiction to housing and employment. And their program works: without re-entry support, 70% of ex-offenders nationwide re-offend within two years. Among Guest House graduates, fewer than 10% re-offend. Join Host Kate Ebner for a conversation with Executive Director Kari Galloway, Faith Ruderfer, and Terry Garrett for a conversation about a transformational approach that changes lives.

Georgetown ITL Faculty

The faculty of the Institute for Transformational Leadership at Georgetown University are multifaceted and diverse with respect to academic training, practical experience, expertise, and research interests. Perhaps the most striking aspect of the faculty is the community they have cultivated and the dialog they have advanced around leadership development and leadership coaching. Most of the original faculty members – those who helped establish Georgetown University’s leadership coaching program in 2000 – still teach and provide direction for leadership coaches and executive leaders, while new perspectives continue to evolve and inform our programs.

At the Institute for Transformational Leadership at Georgetown University, the faculty are exploring new transformative models of leadership, work, and change that can transform individuals, organizations, communities, governments and the global society. Join them each week for exciting conversations about transformational leadership.
