Rooted in leadership development best practices and a commitment to practical application, this intensive program guides current nonprofit executive directors to:

    • build self and social awareness for stronger staff, board, and community relationships;
    • recognize and build on their signature strengths;
    • cultivate a personal leadership vision and the capacity to hold a long-term vision of possibility for the organization;
    • apply systems thinking tools to understanding and solving challenges;
    • develop coaching skills for growing the next generation of leaders;
    • enhance team leadership skills for both informal (coalition and community) and formal (board and staff) teams;
    • create a learning community of peers; and
    • plan for an ongoing learning strategy beyond the Institute.
