Politics is about policy.  In our democratic republic, winners make the rules. 

 

If we want pro-prosperity, pro-business policies that provide the climate for a strong economy where we live and work, we’ll need leaders in policy-making positions who understand business issues because they live business issues. 

 

They’ve created jobs, balanced budgets, dealt with the maze of taxes and regulations, provided great customer service and they understand the language of business and prosperity. 

 

But before they can lead, they’ll need strategies to succeed and confidently step into their leadership moment as already “formidable.” 

 

Collaborative and customized leadership training programs feature The Lea[doer]ship™ Method for Public Leadership Engagement, which guides prospective elected and/or appointed leaders with proven strategies on how to: 

 

- Define their difference and their destination—where they can make it; 

- Overcome common personal, professional and sometimes political barriers; 

- Elevate their public visibility with messaging strategies that boost their credibility and Engage “power proponents” who can open doors and have their backs; 

- Realize results more quickly with proper planning, lining up support and being prepared to address opposition. 

 

In diverse markets, since 2008, graduates have emerged from their training to become legislative leaders (State Senate President, State House Speaker, future State House Speaker, members of leadership and legislators), local leaders (Mayors, County and City Leaders) and leaders who have been appointed to influential boards and committees where they’ve used their business expertise to influence — and in some cases — direct public policies.

 

Each program meets the objectives of organizers and is branded locally, Organizers have control over the leaders who are selected for training.  (We provide selection guidelines and an application template.)

 

Our training features an active-learning workshop format of small-group discussions and problem-solving through simulated scenarios. 

 

We offer two public leadership tracks:  a focus on aspiring and exploring elected leaders  and policy-influencers without a candidate focus.  Training for prospective appointees to government boards and commissions and/or policy influencers can be included in either track.  

 

In the past we've assisted in organizing a 501(c)3 educational organization to administer the training (so long as no declared candidates participate).  This allows corporate and community nonprofit foundations to participate in program funding.  

 

There is no obligation to see if this training is right for your organization and community.
