Investing in leadership training for staff can bring numerous benefits to any organization. By using John Maxwell’s training techniques, staff members can acquire essential skills such as communication, conflict resolution, and team building. These skills are valuable not only for those in management positions but also for anyone in the workplace, fostering a more cohesive and successful environment.

Leadership training can also boost morale and increase employee retention. In today’s competitive job market, investing in the growth and development of staff can differentiate a company from its competitors and attract top talent.

Overall, investing in leadership training is an investment in the organization’s future success. Our specialized programs for non-profits, based on John Maxwell’s methods, include workshops, coaching, and assessments to develop leaders at all levels and enhance their capacity to lead effectively.

Communication & Connection

Communication and connection are at the core of any non-profit organization. Leadership expert John Maxwell emphasizes that connecting with people in a meaningful way increases your influence with them. Effective communication is crucial for employees to collaborate with peers, clients, and teams, driving the organization toward its potential.

Our programs emphasize understanding employees’ personality types using DISC, effective communication with different personality styles, and employing tools like the “Leadership Game” to enhance teamwork. We also focus on identifying types of learners, finding common ground, and creating action plans based on group accountability.

By studying communication principles and practices, participants receive critical insights into themselves and learn how to increase their influence in various situations. Our training, based on John Maxwell’s principles, fosters a sense of shared endeavor, enhancing teamwork and leadership within the organization.

Emotional Intelligence

Emotional intelligence (EI) is crucial for the success of any organization, especially non-profits, which rely heavily on public support. Strong EI helps non-profits build robust relationships with the public and stakeholders, enhancing their ability to meet goals. It also aids in understanding and addressing the needs of their target audience and in managing emotions to stay focused and motivated.

Leaders with high emotional intelligence are more effective in dealing with challenges, relating to others, and building strong teams, making them more successful in achieving organizational goals. For non-profits, EI training is essential for leadership development and organizational success, equipping leaders to guide their teams more effectively.

Our EI training includes understanding emotional intelligence, identifying personal strengths and weaknesses, managing limiting behaviors, and enhancing work performance. Participants learn how increased EI awareness boosts leadership effectiveness, making them better leaders, managers, and public servants.

Diversity, Equity & Inclusion

Diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) training is essential for fostering a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive culture within organizations. 

We provide this training through workshops, webinars, and group coaching, DEI training helps organizations identify and address areas of inequality and prejudice while developing strategies to promote inclusivity in the workplace.

For non-profits, DEI training and coaching create an environment where everyone feels valued, respected, and supported. Employees learn to work effectively with people from different backgrounds and to recognize and address unconscious bias. This training also helps organizations develop more inclusive policies and procedures, demonstrating a commitment to equity and justice.

Investing in DEI training allows non-profits to attract and retain a diverse workforce, leading to improved organizational outcomes. It equips employees with the tools to understand and promote diversity, equity, and inclusion, thereby making a significant impact on the communities they serve and contributing to social change.

DISC and Personality Assessments

Personality assessments are useful for understanding yourself and others. By learning about your personality type, you can identify your strengths and weaknesses and improve interactions.

In the workplace, these assessments provide insights into how you collaborate best with colleagues. The DISC Personality Assessment, a popular tool, measures Dominance, Influence, Steadiness, and Compliance.

Understanding your DISC scores can enhance self-awareness and improve how you interact with others. These assessments are valuable for both individuals and organizations, promoting self-improvement and better teamwork.

Succession Planning

Succession planning is critical for non-profits, as they often rely on a small number of key personnel to maintain operations. The sudden departure of a key individual can disrupt services significantly, making it essential to have a plan to fill such voids.

Our corporate coaching equips individuals with the skills and knowledge needed to step into leadership roles, fostering team cohesion and improving communication. By collaborating with an organization’s leaders, we identify key focus areas and develop a comprehensive succession plan.

Our coaching also assesses potential successors’ skills and experience, providing guidance to prepare them for leadership. Additionally, we support outgoing leaders during the transition, ensuring a smooth handover and the long-term success of the non-profit organization.
