Institute for Center Effectiveness
January 30 - February 2, 2012
Change your life, awaken your team, and revolutionize everything you do. Learn how to put 12-8-4, The Essentials of Excellence, to work for you.
Excellence starts in the core of each person and from there reaches into the lives, the work, and the centers that depend on us.
Heartbeat International’s Institute for Center Effectiveness helps you open your core to excellence and then apply that excellence whether in leading your staff or developing resources for your center. Institute offers a choice between two training tracks, Leadership or Development, in addition to joint sessions for all participants. All skills learned in this program can be applied in the pregnancy help movement as well as the most intimate relationships and the wider world.
At Institute, you benefit from over $3,500 worth of corporate-style training for as little as $975.
The Development track
Advancing development through a more robust understanding of the nature and ministry of development is at the heart of this track. Anyone with responsibility for donor development and fundraising will benefit from this advanced training. Seasoned pregnancy help leaders provide a foundation and training that goes beyond elementary event planning.
This includes:
Donor dynamics.
Giving strategies.
Revenue evaluation.
Relationship building with prospective funders.
5 reasons you need to come to the Institute
It’s corporate training at non-profit cost. Businesses nationwide use Built to Lead to train CEOs, Presidents, and Boards in Leadership Training. We have partnered with these executive coaches to bring you $3,500 worth of business training for as little as $975.
It’s far more dynamic and personal than a conference. Conferences, specifically the big annual ones, have their purpose, but rarely results in in-depth, professional training. The Institute is intentionally sized for an intimate learning environment. The Institute provides individual interaction, personal feedback to help you grow in your role and increase your effectiveness.
It’s vital to invest in yourself. "We must all learn to lead ourselves with excellence before we can lead a team towards excellence. In other words, we believe that excellence achieved individually will spread organizationally." - Built to Lead’s Belief
A burst of training can take you a long way. One week may seem like a long time to be away. But one week can literally revolutionize your personal leadership as well as grow your knowledge and understanding. Working with trainers and fellow participants over the extended time yields exponential return on your investment of time.
