Training program of the month

T+D, July, 2003

Gandhi said that you need to be the change you see in the world. The Rockwood Leadership Program, which provides training to managers at organizations working for social change, is based on that premise. Founded by 20-year Greenpeace veteran Andre Carothers, the program helps leaders not only improve such organizational skills as presentation, teambuilding, coaching, and more, but also improve themselves with training on personal vision and calling, intuition and decision making, and inner alignment and self-care. Also offered are an advanced program and custom consulting.

Says Carothers in an interview by Utne, "Our training encourages activists to look inside and find out which part of them is contributing to their political and social goals, and which is not.... You can't get a group to work together successfully without taking care of their hearts and souls."
