May Training

Many of us aspire to be dynamic change agents in our work (and lives). But the percentage of leaders and organizations who rate well in strategy and execution of strategy is incredibly low. In this engaging, fun, and thought-provoking session, you will explore successful pathways to transformational change.


Participants will learn about:

  • The tangible importance and implications of a strategic approach
  • The characteristics of a strategic person/organization
  • Obstacles that hinder strategic work
  • A digestible process for achieving successful strategic change
  • The role of fundraisers in organizational strategy
  • A roadmap for fostering strategic change in work (and life)


Participants will leave with:

  1. An improved assessment of themselves and their organizations with regards to strengths/opportunities for becoming more strategic
  2. A pathway to begin and support your journey as a game-changing leader
