Testimonials

"The Emerge and Lead program was one of the most amazing experiences of my professional career. I learned a great deal about myself and the strengths and weaknesses I have that pushed me to grow as a leader in my job, community, and personal life. It was a wonderful opportunity to network, and the connections I made are now close friends. I would encourage anyone and everyone, no matter what job level you hold, to participate in this program." 

"My greatest take away from attending Your Leadership Edge was the ability to distinguish  “technical and adaptive work.” The overall training benefited my nonprofit in ways I never could have imagined. I so impressed that I also shared a lot of information with my church board members. I highly recommend this training. Thank you KLC."

"The “Emerge & Lead” program introduced me to foundational leadership concepts and amazing people.  The two-hour drive from Manhattan was well worth it! The concepts and insights gained during the program have been helpful professionally and personally.  Don’t miss this opportunity.” 

"Emerge & Lead was a chance to dig in to aspects of nonprofit work - aligning mission with activities, board and staff structure, legal and financial considerations, fundraising, strategic planning, and also learning where to seek a deeper dive or help with any of those topics. I grew to know my fellow participants and the Nonprofit Chamber's offerings and staff. My favorite part was taking the time to examine my approach to nonprofit leadership."

"What a wonderful networking and learning experience for non-profit leaders! I was thrilled to be selected to participate in this class and developed skills, brushed up on current competencies and challenged myself to refine my thinking and processes for the betterment of my organization. I created lasting connections and am glad for the experience!"

"I thoroughly enjoyed my Emerge and Lead experience. As someone newer to non-profit management, I found the non-profit specific conversations and connections to be both relevant and timely. Our pandemic-adjusted virtual experience was timely in nature as we were given a unique opportunity to discuss leadership through the lens of a real-world, real-time challenge using KLC principals. I highly recommend this experience to other non-profit leaders and leaders-in-training."

"Emerge and Lead helped give me the education, tools and resources me and my team needed to take our organization to the next level. I highly

recommend this program to anyone who is ready to be a leader in their community."

 "Through this program I learned how to better reorient, manage and innovate my leadership framework. This year (2020) has shed light on many systemic issues and we would be remiss if we did not reflect on the lessons and courageously take renewed perspective and action into the future. E & L has helped better prepare and adapt to change."
