become the effective, skillful leader you came here to be

For prospective, new or experienced elected officials, the practical methods of governing, legislating, and leading a governmental organization can be frustrating, confusing, and anything but simple.  Get the insider’s edge by tapping into over fifty years of government experience from our advisors to become a skillful legislative leader.  Learn proven methods for navigating the political process to advance your agenda, secure your legacy, and fulfill promises to your constituents.  Take advantage of our tips and insights to better understand the diverse motives and perspectives of various stakeholders and how to leverage the tools at your fingertips to get results.

empower your council

Consider empowerment for your governing body!  Training for councils, commissions, and boards of trustees delivers real value by establishing a leadership model at the top.   Achieve transformational change when all leaders in the organization (Mayor, Council,  Manager and Department Directors) embrace a unified vision for the culture, values, and direction of the organization.  Too often, little to no time is spent on developing the unity and cohesion among  members of the  governing board in order for them to work more effectively on behalf of their constituents.  Get the governing edge with an orientation, leadership retreat, or strategic planning session for your elected officials and senior staff.  Our Board Advisory services afford you an external, non-biased partner to provide on-going accountability and guidance to maintain unity, focus and direction.
