• Acknowledging and accepting unproductive mindsets and old patterns of behavior, raising awareness of blind-spots and biases that impact one’s leadership
• Interrupting unproductive patterns by setting intentions and taking small steps to shift habits and feelings
• Embracing the unique strengths and assets that you have, which in turn helps you lead authentically with intentionality, conviction, and confidence.
• Increasing comfort navigating the transitions, tensions, and complexities of their organization.

In this leadership program, we’ll utilize the S.P.A.R.K. approach and framework, which melds Adaptive Leadership practices and neuroscience while applying an inclusion/racial equity lens.

The leaders in my programs care deeply about being in alignment with their values, including and honoring ALL voices, and communicating with intentionality and awareness of blindspots.

Now, imagine for a minute…

• Your team is significantly more productive because relational trust is strong
• Your leadership philosophy (with your vision, values, and mission) is crystal clear
• Your team sees you as a self-aware, humble, confident, caring, leader with conviction
• You have higher emotional and social intelligence and have coping skills for communication-break-downs
• You’re able to diagnose where your team is at in their development and respond accordingly
• You are aware of your blind-spots so you strengthen relationships and bonds with your diverse team
• Your values are felt in the way you communicate authentically
• You have big goals and priorities outlined and you are also adaptive and ready to make adjustments
• You improve your quality of life because you’re living in deep alignment with your values
• Your team feels great satisfaction and that gives you peace of mind
• You’re a proactive, not reactive leader
  

How does that sound to YOU?

I developed and designed our leadership programs and workshops to support you to lead with more self-awareness, emotional and social intelligence, courage, humility, and conviction SO THAT you can influence your team in positive, impactful ways.

This process involves a leading with our vision, our head, our heart, and our hands.

• Get clear on both your strengths AND the limiting behaviors and mindsets that are impacting your leadership
• Envision a future where your big, bold, ambitious goals come true
• Create a road map for beginning the journey of leading with your S.P.A.R.K.
• Choose a discrete goal / an area of focus for the program
• Explore 5 domains (5 C’s) of leadership development and get intentional with practicing new habits in these domains

Here are the details of our journey on the 10-week Signature Course:

• David Rock’s work on leading with neuroscience in mind
• Latest research on Adaptive leadership
• Latest research on unconscious bias and blindspots
• Tuckman’s Stages of Team Development
• William Bridges’ work on managing transitions

• Leadership philosophy, values, mission, & vision articulated and shared
• S.P.A.RK. self-assessment done and goals defined
• 6-month priority plan with monthly & quarterly goals outlined
• Intentional plan for an upcoming event / high-stakes conversations
• Raised awareness of your blindspots and biases
• Raised awareness of the stage of your team’s development
• Clarity on the communication patterns you want to interrupt
• Community-building toolkit filled up, with a diversity lens and more!

For those that prefer a more hands-on experience, we’ll have weekly group coaching calls and weekly workbooks. For those with busy schedules, the course is designed for you to work/engage/lead at your own pace…so if time commitments are an issue, don’t worry–you’ll have unlimited access to the replays and video modules.

I’m offering this course at a significantly lower investment, so it is accessible to all leaders.

The individuals in the program is what makes the experience extraordinary… so we’re only accepting influencers who are serious about taking their leadership and team to the next level and who are committed to their learning, growth, and development.

“The program really put perspective on leadership and diversity. The biggest shift for me was the S.P.A.R.K. acronym – it helps me keep on target with my leadership focus. I’ve used it in the past, but not nearly as forefront as it was during the program.”

“In the program, my 2017 priorities & intentions shifted. I had to step up to be a leader and TAKE ACTION.”

“The best part was the influence and connecting the people who I had a chance to connect with on and off the planned calls.”

“The program confirmed the path of leadership I want to take.”

“So much intentionality was used in every part of the program, and I became a better leader because of it.”

SPARK For Humanity started in 2016 as an interactive community-building card game, and the acronym exists as the shared agreements  / encouraged behaviors for the game. Rachel created the card game, with his unique structure, because she saw a huge need for diverse communities to engage in empathy-building experiences, raising-awareness of how one’s’ identity impacts their experience in the world.

Over time, given the sociopolitical landscape, S.P.A.R.K. grew into much more. Today we carry on the meaning of the acronym in our Leadership programs to support leaders to align their vision, core values, systems, and actions with intentionality. Our programs aim to strengthen leaders’ emotional intelligence, social intelligence, AND cultural consciousness–in service of sustaining positive, productive, and inclusive organizational cultures.
