LeaderConnection for Nonprofit Leaders

We begin LeaderConnection for Nonprofit Leaders with the goal to offer executives a leadership development program designed to support them in sustaining their own resources and approach to work while contributing to the vitality of their professional and personal lives by honoring each person's diversity, gift and strengths.  According to participant's of last year's LeaderConnection for Nonprofits, we achieved this goal:

 

I look forward eagerly—almost desperately sometimes—to Leader Connection each month.  The topics are essential not only to growing professionally but personally.  Shared wisdom—new deeper insights from the others participants as well as myself are helpful in philosophical/conceptual levels—what has surprised me is that I also am taking away very concrete ideas and approaches.

The sessions have been wonderful in that they have helped me gain better insight into my personal strengths, thoughts, processes, relationship building approaches, etc.  All of these will help me a better leader and person in general.
