How we work with organizations to elevate their influence by elevating the influence of their members and community leaders...and what this is...

Collaborative and customized training addresses the objectives of organizers...

Locally-branded

"Starting line" strategies allow leaders to explore how to confidently transition into their leadership moment by: 

  • defining their (key) difference and where to make it; 

  • overcoming obstacles; 

  • elevating their public visibility; 

  • being ready to achieve results quickly. 

Authentic strategies have been "forged in the fires" of (many) years of practical experience, successes, tough lessons and feedback from graduates-turned-leaders who told us what they learned the hard way that we should have taught them first...and now teach to others. 

All training features an "active learning" format of small-group discussions, problem-solving and simulated scenarios that allow leaders to better understand how to practically implement strategies.
