What would happen
if an organization of about one
hundred people
could get itself to work together
consistently with commitment,
loyalty and dedication?
What an impact that organization would make!
Who We Are
The Leadership and Empowerment Institute (LEI) is a
private, non-profit corporation created to train, teach and facilitate the
community-building process. Our work in community building includes such core
skills as conflict resolution, mediation, decision making, problem solving and
group facilitation. LEI is committed to racial and social justice. Our work
helps to break down racism and to create a multi-cultural society.
We help organizations, groups and individuals:
- Honor
and affirm diversity
- Raise
difficult issues with integrity
- Resolve
conflicts respectfully
- Relate
with care and compassion
What We Do
The Leadership and Empowerment Institute (LEI) conducts (1)
skill-building seminars for community leaders, (2) public community-building
workshops and (3) intensive, experiential training sessions. We also provide (4)
consulting services.
Skill-building Seminars for Community Leaders
These 3-day “train-the-trainer” sessions help
participants develop specific skills in the community-building model (based on
the work of Scott Peck). These trainings are particularly appropriate for
community leaders or professionals who desire to assist as facilitators for
community building in their own communities.
Public Community-building Workshops
These community-building workshops and retreats typically
take place over a weekend, including a Friday night session and Saturday and
Sunday sessions. The workshop may be open to the public or to members of a
specific organization who wish to experience a sense of community using the
community-building process. Groups might include boards, churches, neighborhoods
in conflict, associations and political action groups.
Intensive, Experiential Trainings
We offer four challenging and rewarding weekends a year
that develop skills in community building, conflict resolution, mediation,
decision making and problem solving. These sessions are designed for those who
want to build their leadership skills on an ongoing basis throughout the year.
Consulting
Our professional consulting services are designed to meet
the needs of specific groups, organizations or individuals. Included are
organizational development, strategic planning, coaching, mentoring, stress
management, family reconciliation, and advising in applied leadership skills.
