Executive Training

High-powered executives with multiple demands have few outlets to reflect upon and think through their most important issues. LTG's Executive Briefing and Executive Coaching programs address the unique needs of top leaders from a range of service sectors.

Executive Briefing

As an upper or middle level leader in your organization:

• Do you often wonder what truly is going on in your organization?
• Does your staff struggle with low morale?
• Do you want to develop skills to understand how the environment in your organization affects how your staff thinks and feels about their work?

LTG's Executive Briefing curriculum provides upper and middle level organizational leaders with multiple lenses through which to look at their organization differently. Participants have the opportunity to examine and transform their organizations in the following areas: the tone and momentum of their agency, quality of services delivered, their institutional legacy, and the staff who are the organization's greatest resources.

As a result of their work with LTG, executives report significant improvement in collaboration, employee morale and their overall effectiveness.

Executive Coaching

LTG offers one-on-one coaching to help executives with a range of issues such as: budgeting and board development, determining a long-term course of action, handling internal staff conflicts or balancing their personal and professional lives.

LTG's Coaching through Transitions programs are specially designed for mid-level managers and supervisors seeking to effectively navigate their teams through organizational changes.

Our one-on-one coaches bring a high level of expertise, authenticity and caring to guarantee our clients lead their organizations effectively, leaving a lasting legacy of organizational success and personal fulfillment.

The Budgeting Process

More Gain, Less Pain

Leaders are always making tough decisions about priorities and resource allocation. It's a fact of life in both the for profit and not-for-profit worlds. Our Budgeting training helps experienced and new managers:

• Understand reports and financial accountability
• Maximize resources
• Plan budgets
• Negotiate financial requests

Board Development Training

The women and men who serve as trustees on Boards of Directors often come to their roles with a huge commitment and an impressive work ethic. Yet rarely are these inspiring people provided with upfront training regarding their specific responsibilities or the functions and responsibilities of their board as a governing body.

LTG's Board Development Training orients board members of all experience levels in legal responsibilities and liabilities, the board's role in setting organizational vision, mission and values, and organizational oversight.

The training also explores ways in which board members can assist their organization in fulfilling the mission, create strategic plans, adapt to change and create a culture of continuous improvement of growth.
