TWO-DAY LEADERSHIP DEVELOPMENT PROGRAM

The EVC Leadership Academy is a two-day, application-only training experience where diverse-led nonprofit organizations will receive executive coaching and strategic support, extend their social networks, and polish their personal pitches to present with precision and persuasion for the greatest impact. The EVC Academy is executed in partnership with culturally-resonant expert transformational capacity-building partners from Wave Consulting Group and Spitfire Strategies.

Over the course of two days, leaders will:

Reflect on the myths (and facts) of effective leadership.
Identify what is and isn’t working about their leadership practices and explore strategies to adopt in moments of stress, challenges, and/or when “feeling stuck”
Foster community with other diverse-led nonprofit organizational leaders, strengthening the financial health ecosystem and creating an online community for ongoing engagement and resources.
Cultivate clarity on how to increase their effectiveness and sphere of influence thereby shifting power.
Empower themselves and each other by debunking harmful narratives and establishing new paradigms for understanding and connecting with their leadership abilities.

The leadership opportunity is for:

Nonprofit leaders who are:

Grappling with organizational challenges and feeling “stuck”
Questioning whether or not they are effective leaders or how they can “level up” their skillsets
Don't know what they don’t know
Craving connection and community
Able to participate in 2 full days of programming
Leading a 501(c)(3) or fiscally sponsored organization
