We firmly believe that “solutions must be forged with the people, not for them” (P. Freire). Our programs provide insights, skills, and tools that enable and encourage stakeholder engagement and constant community participation.

Scaling tangible impact is our top priority. As such, our impact accelerator program centers on clarifying and then implementing critical projects that drive results. These projects become local leader learning laboratories where leaders develop long-term capacity as they practice using skills and tools real-time.

Rather than rely on one individual’s “good idea” or unproven conventional beliefs, the methods and skills we teach are rooted in science and based on global research which has been articulated in peer-reviewed academic journals which publish work on sustainability, change management, leadership, and human capability.

“Learning by teaching,” also known as the Protégé Effect is a simple and intuitive concept: When we explain something to someone else, we understand it better. And research also shows that teams are much more likely to accept and implement ideas shared by their direct supervisor or another leader they trust. As such, our methodology is uniquely built as a train-the-trainer, wherein leaders facilitate learning for their entire team.

In conjunction with the power of train-the-trainer methods, research also shows that practitioners are more likely to understand and adopt new approaches when they learn within a team setting. Team learning increases the extent to which multiple perspectives and viewpoints are shared, and team members will often help each other when needs arise, especially when the learning occurs while the team is working on a project that matters.

Research shows that the most effective adult development programs are “high fidelity,” or in other words, highly customized to match the everyday environment of the audience. We pride ourselves in adapting our program materials, graphics, videos, examples, and voices to align with your culture, colors, community, and context, so that your team will feel at home, stay engaged, and make critical connections between the concepts and tools shared and their daily work.Toggle Content

While our focus is scale, learning often occurs best one-on-one. Leaders will journey with a small group of like-minded change agents. Participants will learn performance coaching skills, be paired with a peer coach, and participate in reflective weekly coaching sessions .

We have developed a unique toolkit that provides change agents with practical, easy-to-implement frameworks. From decision making to accountability… and five-star teams to innovation, our tools make it simple for local leaders to accelerate impact. And the good news is that this mobile-first toolkit is easy to access whenever a change agent faces a challenging leadership situation.

Join our facilitators in engaging live virtual workshops. Participate in live Q&A and real-time coaching. Deepen learning with stories, use-cases, relevant best practices, and insights from colleagues and peers.

While practical tools are immediately helpful, many of our change agents want to learn more. So as a companion to the toolkit, micro learning modules, and live jam sessions, we also provide on-demand learning libraries for each toolkit topic so that change agents can continue learning from a carefully curated treasure chest of videos, articles, podcasts, books, and more.

Our clients have successfully completed projects with targets ranging across all 17 of the United Nation’s Sustainable Development Goals. We work with change agents to build a strong Theory of Change, and library of metrics that matter so that project results can be tracked, and results aggregated across your portfolio of projects.

Change agents who fully participate in our program will earn certificates in Community Engagement, Sustainability Change Management, and Performance Coaching.

We want you to realize results and we feel so strongly about our purpose, product, and ability to accelerate impact, that we guarantee results. We begin all projects by working with our clients and their communities to identify (a) project impact results, and (b) leadership capacity improvement results that matter, and the we work with team leaders to track these results and ensure both short-term improvement and capability to deliver long-term results.
