The People Leadership Path
The People Leadership Path is a high-impact professional development program designed to help managers lead with self-awareness, communication, and problem-solving—core skills that create trust, engagement, and long-term impact.
This program goes beyond quick trainings or passive learning. It’s a guided, practical, and people-centered approach to building confident, capable leaders from the inside out.
It gives your organization a clear, actionable way to invest in its people. Managers grow, stay engaged, and attract the kind of talent that elevates the whole team.
The result? Stronger leadership, better communication, and meaningful progress toward your mission.
Making a Difference Starts with Strong Leadership
RAISE YOUR HAND IF THIS IS YOUR ORGANIZATION
Turnover is an issue. If a person leaves because of the manager, team morale may already be low. With additional work and not knowing how long the position will remain open, employees start to wonder how much more they can give to the organization.
NO. 1
Possibly, a manager has resigned or you’re in the unwanted position of firing a manager. Then it takes an incredible amount of time and money to find a replacement when your time could be better spent.
NO. 2
You want to focus on the mission and provide for your clients while supporting your employees. Even in the best of times, good people leave. You want to keep the great employees as long as you can. You want people who work in your organization to feel valued and inspired.

Our coaching and consulting IS DIFFERENT
People management coaching and consulting focuses on helping managers understand how their communication style and values impact their management behaviors and expectations. The manager learns what it really means to have a high functioning team and how to play a pivotal role in making it happen.
NO. 1
People are complicated. Taking a one-time class or workshop may provide interesting concepts, but the managers have no support to implement it or to process what went well and what didn’t. We all need reinforcement when we learn new ideas or try to implement new behaviors.
NO. 2
NO. 3
Managers need time to learn new information, decide which ideas they want to implement, figure out how they want to implement and then test it out. This takes time and support that my programs include: Best practices and real-world examples, fostering collaboration and peer learning, providing ongoing feedback and reflection.
According to the Society for Human Resources, 57% of workers believe managers in their workplace could benefit from training on how to be better people managers.
84% of workers say poorly trained managers create a lot of unnecessary work and stress.
Many employees are promoted to a management position without any training or are giving a minimal online learning opportunity.
The cost of training can seem expensive until you acknowledge the cost of hiring, onboarding and training a manager.
According to SHRM, it typically costs a nonprofit $4425 to hire a new employee and 36 days to fill a position.
spend more time and money on the impact you want to make on the world
