THE PROBLEM

You Promoted Them. Now What?

You saw their potential. They were your best program coordinator, your most dedicated youth worker, your most reliable teacher.

So you promoted them to supervisor or program manager.

And now they're struggling.

You're seeing it in the small signs:

• They over-prepare for every meeting
• They second-guess decisions they should feel confident about
• They're working longer hours but seem less effective
• They avoid difficult conversations or overcompensate by being too rigid
• They're exhausted in ways they can't quite explain

The truth? Traditional leadership training isn't built for them.

Most programs assume they need to become more assertive, more visible, more like the extroverted leaders everyone pictures.

But your introverted leaders don't need to change who they are.

They need to see the leader they already are.

THE SOLUTION

Introducing: The Hidden Leader Workshop Series

A customized leadership development program for your first-time supervisors and program managers in nonprofit, education, and youth development organizations.

This isn't generic leadership training. This is a proven methodology designed specifically for introverted leaders who are constantly second-guessing themselves despite being incredibly capable.

We don't teach them to be different leaders.

We teach them to recognize and develop the leadership they already have.

OUR METHODOLOGY

Two Core Principles That Create Real Change

1. Evidence Collection

Most leadership training focuses on what they need to become. We focus on what they already are. Your supervisors aren't missing leadership skills—they're missing the ability to see their existing capabilities. We help them collect concrete evidence of their leadership so they stop relying on external validation and start trusting what they already know.

2. Experimentation

Leadership confidence doesn't come from theory. It comes from safe practice. We create low-stakes opportunities for your team to experiment with their leadership approach, fail forward, and discover what works for them. No performance pressure. Just real growth.

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Your Complete Leadership Development System

John Maxwell DISC Assessments for Every Participant

Professional behavioral assessments that help your supervisors understand their natural leadership style, communication preferences, and how to work effectively with different personality types on their team.

Evidence Collection Framework

Structured tools and processes that help participants identify and document their existing leadership capabilities. They'll leave with concrete proof of what they're already doing well—ending the cycle of self-doubt.

Experimentation Labs

Real-world practice scenarios designed specifically for nonprofit, education, and youth development contexts. Your team practices difficult conversations, decision-making, and boundary-setting in a safe environment before applying it on the job.

Wellness & Sustainability Components

Because burned-out leaders can't lead well. We integrate sustainable leadership practices, boundary-setting tools, and self-care strategies that prevent the exhaustion cycle before it starts.

Customized to Your Organization

Every workshop series is tailored to your organization's context, challenges, and goals. We don't deliver cookie-cutter content—we build something that actually fits your team's reality.

Ongoing Resources & Support

Participants receive digital resources, templates, and tools they can reference long after the workshops end. The learning doesn't stop when we leave.

WHO THIS IS FOR

Perfect for Organizations Ready to Invest in Their Emerging Leaders

This workshop series is designed for:

✓ Nonprofit, education, and youth development organizations with teams of 5-15 people

✓ First-time supervisors and program managers who've been in their role for 3+ months

✓ Leaders who are technically competent but struggling with imposter syndrome and self-doubt

✓ Organizations that value sustainable leadership over hustle culture

✓ Teams ready to invest in long-term leadership development, not quick fixes

✓ Leadership that wants to retain their best people by developing them properly

WHO THIS ISN'T FOR

Let's Be Honest: This Program Isn't for Everyone

This workshop series is NOT a good fit if:

✗ You're looking for a quick fix or one-time training session

✗ Your supervisors have been in their role less than 3 months (they need foundational onboarding first)

✗ You want traditional "command and control" leadership development

✗ You're not willing to invest time between sessions for practice and integration

✗ Your organization prioritizes hustle culture over sustainable leadership

✗ You're looking for the cheapest option (this is premium, customized development)

✗ You expect immediate, dramatic transformation without ongoing commitment

We only work with organizations that are genuinely ready to invest in developing their people—not just checking a box.

HOW IT WORKS

Your Workshop Journey

Step 1: Discovery Call

We start with a conversation about your team's specific challenges, goals, and context. This isn't a sales pitch—it's a genuine exploration of whether this program is the right fit.

Step 2: Custom Design

We design a workshop series tailored to your organization. You'll receive a detailed proposal outlining the sessions, timeline, and expected outcomes.

Step 3: Pre-Work & Assessments

Participants complete DISC assessments and brief pre-work to maximize workshop time. This ensures we hit the ground running.

Step 4: Workshop Sessions + Learning Labs

Interactive sessions delivered on-site or virtually (your choice). Mix of teaching, reflection, group discussion, and peer learning in a small group format.

Between sessions, participants engage in Learning Labs: real-time practice opportunities where they apply what they're learning directly to their current leadership challenges. They experiment with new approaches, navigate difficult situations, and receive email support from Chanel as they work through these experiences.

This isn't theoretical learning—it's lived practice with expert guidance when you need it most.

Step 5: Integration & Support

Participants receive ongoing resources and tools. Optional follow-up sessions available to reinforce learning and address new challenges.

What It Costs. What It's Worth.

What's included:

• DISC assessments for every participant

WHAT MAKES THIS DIFFERENT

Why This Works When Generic Leadership Training Doesn't

We understand your world.

This program was built specifically for nonprofit, education, and youth development organizations. We know your constraints, your culture, and your challenges. We speak your language.

We work with how introverts actually learn.

Small groups. Reflection time built in. Safe space to practice. No forced networking or performative exercises. We honor how your introverted leaders process and grow.

We focus on what's already there.

Most training tells leaders what they're missing. We help them see what they already have. That shift—from deficit to recognition—changes everything.

We prioritize sustainability.

We're not interested in creating superhuman leaders who burn out in two years. We're building sustainable leadership that lasts. Boundaries, wellness, and self-awareness are woven throughout.
