Talent Development

We provide leadership development through tailored trainings, psychometric assessments, one-on-one or group coaching, and mentoring. We believe each person has great potential and therefore we work with professionals at all organizational levels, from interns to executives and everything in between.

Leadership Training

Leadership Training

mano-Y-ola’s early childhood education team is dedicated to supporting agencies in developing leadership skills through a comprehensive range of services. We understand the unique challenges and requirements of Head Start, Early Head Start, and Community Services Block Grant Programs and are committed to helping them thrive.

 

Each training is developed and customized to “fit” an organization’s culture and needs. Agencies can expect tangible improvements in leadership capabilities, increased self-awareness, enhanced decision-making skills, and improved team dynamics through our services. We strive to empower leaders to inspire and guide their teams effectively, leading to positive outcomes for children, families, and communities.

Coaching

Our coaching services are designed to empower leaders by providing them with personalized guidance and support. Our experienced coaches work closely with program leaders, helping them identify their strengths and areas for growth. Through one-on-one virtual coaching sessions, leaders receive valuable feedback, guidance, and strategies to enhance their leadership capabilities. In addition, we focus on fostering self-awareness, building practical communication skills, and promoting the development of leadership competencies.

Psychometric Assessments
