TRAININGS & RESULTS

LEADERSHIP TRAINING

Our Leadership Training focuses on the leader within us. It offers tools for people to break out of their box and thrive in every environment. We focus on the need to lead responsibly, closely examine our actions and seek feedback, and invest in the leader within all who surround us.

LEADERSHIP WORKSHOPS

In addition to our fundamental leadership training, The Communities Project offers workshops that focus on topics critical to building impactful leadership. Workshops are developed with the needs of your specific organizations and communities in mind. They can examine numerous issues, including goal development, conflict management, supervision, trauma-informed practices, and many more.

LEADERSHIP COACHING

After attending a training, leadership coaching is available for those who attend. Our personalized coaching aids individuals in attaining the goals they seek in their communities and in making an ongoing investment in everyone dedicated to bringing about change in their community.

TRANSFORMATIONAL LEADERSHIP

In partnership with D-Degree Coaching & Training, The Communities Project is a co-creator of the Transformational Leadership cohort. This five-session intensive leadership program outlines a vision for what people wish to create in leadership and develops a practice consistent with that vision. The program includes five leadership sessions as well as five executive coaching sessions.

What Others are Saying
The Communities Project visited Indianapolis in October of 2018. Less than a year later, the Indiana Addiction Issues Coalition (IAIC) was proud to report the Recovery Café Indy held its grand opening in September of 2019, offering services two days a week to individuals experiencing homelessness, mental health challenges, and/or substance use disorders (SUD).

The Communities Project is inspiring because you never have to advocate alone, again. The training sessions are superb and Michael King gives dedicated support all along the way that is helpful for individuals new to advocacy and those that are more seasoned. In mobilizing our communities, we are taught to believe in our leadership capabilities and to listen to others. Having the guidance of the Communities Project is empowering as we aim to translate years of shared experience, which includes loss and pain and gratitude, for community action and positive societal change. Together, we are saving the lives of people today and generations tomorrow.

Impact Leadership is the solution. Community organizations like ours, look forward to our "think days" with Michael King. Community services are fluid. And sometimes we get off mission. The leadership training brings us back to our north star. It is part of our annual budget and worth every penny. I highly recommend it!

I met Michael through a state sponsored virtual training he was facilitating in New Mexico in 2020. After completing the training and participating in monthly coaching calls I invited Michael to come to our organization and engage our entire staff in his leadership training. We are a small staff of 10 and almost all staff have continued to utilize Michaels monthly coaching. I have seen an incredible shift in confidence and commitment to the work each employee is engaged in!I have also had the pleasure of working with Michael in his transformational leadership training and continued coaching. Wow! What a difference I have found in myself in becoming the leader I am and how that work has helped me deepen my ability to see the opportunities and leadership in others. Having Michael support me in my growth has been one of the greatest gifts in my professional and personal life!! I can’t recommend his trainings enough!
Anna KrutskySan Juan County Partnership
Michael's trainings are highly informative, engaging, and impactful. Many organizations promote folks into leadership who have shined in their prior role, but are undereducated with respect to effective communication, team building approaches, and overall leadership development concepts. Michael has a way of making the most seasoned professional and the more novice leader thrive together in a learning environment that facilitates growth for all and a sense of community.
Megan FisherRecovery Bond
Our growing organization needs to arm emerging leaders with the tools to succeed in their missions, including the ability to motivate and inspire others. I participated in one of Michael’s workshops and can attest that they are effective and inspiring. We have made this available to our leadership and will be working with Michael to deliver similar workshops to new members of our national recovery housing network.
