Custom Training

Support tailored to your organization’s unique needs

Custom training and consultation are designed to meet the specific needs of organizations seeking to strengthen leadership capacity across all levels. Programs are tailored for teams working in complex, human-service environments where the work is both demanding and deeply human.


Your custom plan can include one or more of the following methods, tailored to your organization’s goals and context:


  • Facilitated Group Learning: Interactive sessions that bring leadership principles to life through reflection, dialogue, and collective insight. These sessions help teams translate leadership theory into practical strategies for everyday challenges. Typically offered in three to five sessions, either remotely or in person. Content can be customized for experienced, new, or blended groups.


  • One-on-One Coaching: Personalized coaching sessions create space for deeper reflection and sustained growth. Leaders explore their patterns, identify opportunities for change, and strengthen confidence in applying new skills. Coaching supports greater integration of learning between sessions and reinforces steady, intentional leadership under pressure. Ideal for supervisors, managers, or emerging leaders navigating growth, transition, or new responsibilities.


  • Strength Deployment Inventory: The SDI is a scientifically validated tool that helps leaders understand the motivational and relational dynamics that influence how people work together. It measures motives, conflict patterns, and strengths—along with how those same strengths can limit effectiveness when overused. The SDI gives leaders insight into what drives behavior—both in steady times and under stress—and how these dynamics shape communication and collaboration. James Freeman, a certified SDI facilitator, integrates this tool into group sessions and coaching and can provide individualized reports and online resources for your team.


Together, these tools and resources make leadership growth more than a one-time event, reinforcing lasting growth and connection within your leadership culture.
