From time-to-time it helps to have someone knowledgeable and objective work with your staff, especially during moments of crisis, transition or the small discords that disrupt the work environment. We facilitate staff retreats; planning days; sessions on the Myers-Briggs as a tool for building strong(er) teams; as well as a broad range of professional development areas. We have also offered workshops in such areas as: Communication styles; working with difficult personalities; and managing intercultural work teams. We can help you assess staff needs and develop options for professional development.

Many organizations work with grassroots communities from the standpoint of an empowerment model. Collaboration and empowerment are the cornerstones of our work with non-profit organizations, particularly grassroots organizations. It is important to prepare your emerging and new generation of leaders within the community. We facilitate a leadership training program tailored to the needs and assets of your group. Past programs have included such topics as: 

• conflict resolution
• exploring latent and emerging leadership skills;
• distinguishing among various leadership styles;
• the impact of gender and culture on exercising leadership; and
• public speaking;

The program has been implemented with a variety of stakeholders in the community with great success. In some instances, groups have emerged with an action plan for addressing certain needs in their local or school community. The program is customized to meet your specific needs!

We are happy to offer a variety of leadership programs to people ages 18-35 applying a methodology which we developed and which has been implemented in over four countries so far, including the US. Programs can be offered on-site at your high school or university or your students may participate in an international program as well. Training is provided to three distinct age groups with tailored content to meet the experiences and needs of each:

• High school age students
• College/university students
• Post-graduate/young professionals in any sector, profit or non-profit
