Leadership Development for Members & Their Teams
Friction happens when people don’t understand one another. Confusion happens as a result of poor communication. Underperformance happens when people aren’t engaged.
We are currently working with 15 instituions at the 1890 Extension Leadership Academy and New Technologies for Ag Extension project teams in these capacities.
Each of our offerings focus on behavior changes that will help you realize your potential.
New for 2021: Rev-Up Your Virtual Leadership
For 2021, the Extension Foundation’s Impact Collaborative program is hosting a series available to member institutions. This is for Cooperative Extension professionals leading five or more peers.
Last year we all pivoted quickly as we redefined how to accomplish our work almost exclusively in shared virtual spaces. The topics in this series are a result of our work with individuals & teams from across Cooperative Extension wondering: What does effective leadership look like when we no longer have the ability to put a hand on a shoulder? How do we reduce friction, confusion & underperformance for individuals, teams and organizations?

Where Values Collide, People Divide!
Ever wonder how ideas spread? Where we sit on this scale depends on the “thing” or idea & our values. 250,000 people showed up for Dr. King’s “I have a dream” speech. How many people would have shown up if he’d given a “I have a plan” speech?

“We are professionals at what we do, amateurs at who we want to become.”
– Marshall Goldsmith
It might be inevitable that we all drive electric cars someday but it’s not inevitable that we’ll become the person we want to be. And it’s not inevitable we’ll be the leader we aspire to become. Creating new habits takes time, patience & a lot of grit. But you can do it and we can help speed up your results.
BEST FOR: Anyone who wants something different for their lives & is tired of waiting to get it.
