Do you care deeply about your organisation’s mission, purpose and values? Do you find that the working climate, leadership culture and way of relating to each other in your organisation is getting in the way of having the impact you believe is possible?

If you answered yes, you are not alone! Join this course, designed specifically for people working in the social impact sector (broadly defined to include any NGOs, public sector and social enterprises with a primary goal of social impact) and at an affordable price. You will have the opportunity to train together with peers in this sector in the mindset and skills needed to better achieve your organisation’s purpose through unleashing the potential in your teams.

Listen to Katherine Wynne, CEO of UK based Croydon Mencap, sharing her insights and learnings from the training.

“Thank you for this course. It has had quite a profound impact on me, in particular learning about my own mindsets and challenges that are getting in the way for me.” –Hannah Harvey, Head of Programme Development and Policy, Welsh Centre for International Affairs

Organisations in the social impact sector face a myriad of different challenges such as: changes and uncertainty in the political landscape, working with volunteer-based workforces, frequent and/or major reorganisations, lack of funding, and navigating external regulations and compliance. What they have in common is a commitment to being purpose-driven.

We believe the source of new levels of collaboration, innovation, and development is not new structures and processes but addressing the dynamic underlying how we work together. By shifting this dynamic from one that is parent-child and hierarchical, to one that is adult-adult and partnership-based, we can unleash the leadership potential across our organisations.

"There is nothing in this course that is just hypothetical."

In this course you will get practical tools and training that will enable you to:

  • Be more coaching and contribute to others’ development (instead of people being dependent on your knowledge and experience)
  • Give powerful feedback that makes a difference
  • Support and empower your colleagues in times of change and uncertainty
  • Be more confident in having difficult conversations
  • Practice new conversations and ways of being in a safe learning environment
  • Get feedback and coaching that brings new levels of self-awareness

Content and layout

The programme consists of 3 modules spread over approximately 4 weeks, and is led by one of our certified Tuff leadership trainers. The first two module consists of two half-day sessions in a row, 11:00–14:30 CET, and the last module of one half-day session, 11:00–14:30 CET. (5 half-day sessions all together.) In between each module you will have time to try out your learnings.

The training is practical and is designed to develop the leadership mindset and skills needed to unleash responsibility and commitment in your teams. Your old patterns and behaviors will be challenged, and you will become aware of your pitfalls and strengths. Real-life role-plays combined with individualised, powerful feedback mean that you will find new and better ways to deal with the challenges you are facing. The overall theme is a coaching leadership approach, which is translated into different kinds of conversations such as feedback and coaching. You will get a variety of new tools that you can apply right away. The methodology used is Tuff Leadership Training’s own, which has been developed for more than twenty years and is known for producing tangible results.

“The Social Impact Tuff Leadership course was a great experience! Learning-by-doing on how to have coaching conversations and give feedback were particular highlights on the content side. I also really enjoyed meeting a great group of people as well as being challenged to improve and get practical with practice sessions and homework between sessions.” –Ruth Blackshaw, Executive Officer, UNAIDS
