Be the leader you want (and need) to BE

Explore who you are as a leader, develop your coach-approach to drive performance, and discover the exponential capacity inclusive leadership creates. Ideal for Directors and Managers, this three-day program will offer a powerful combination of in-class learning, as well as one-on-one coaching to allow for deeper leadership exploration on an individual level.

This program is for you if you...

  • care passionately about what you do and want to make a difference - for your community and your team.

  • feel constantly pressured by lack of time, resources and energy to do what needs to get done.

  • are faced with staff or teams that care about the cause, but need to develop critical skills.

  • want to inspire your team with your vision, yet feel depleted by the overwhelming demands in a challenging non-profit climate.

  • desire to lead your organization in a way that creates huge impact and affects positive change.

Here’s what some of the 500+ past participants share about their experience…

Lightbulb moments! So great to connect and talk through some of what we experience as leaders, to be heard and seen, and to work towards takeaways and resolutions. I truly appreciated the 1-on-1 sessions to get a better understanding of value and my leadership style, and to then reframe it into a coaching mindset.
You may think you’ve done leadership training, but Melissa expertly mixes leadership models with theories of emotional intelligence and empathy to create something new and innovative.
This course will encourage you to reflect & understand how your presence as a leader influences the team you support. You will gain valuable skills to engage your team & better understand the different roles we maintain as leaders, managers, coaches and mentors.
What a refreshing opportunity to connect with like minded leaders, to learn from personal and relevant experiences in real time to move your career forward in any role that you play with your organization.
