Leadership Training Programs
“Involve Marj when you want true, inspired learning and action to occur. Marj has a seeming ease in creating safe environments for groups to work on complicated and arduous issues. Marj tells the truth. And, the women I’ve seen her work with—ethnically diverse women working on community issues throughout California—welcome that truth. She supports them in rising to the challenge, to break through barriers, to take risks and leave behind habits and stories limiting their success. As their ally, Marj is fiercely committed to seeing them achieve their goals through training that draws on their natural strengths and experiences."
—Belma Gonzalez, b coaching and consulting, Oakland, California
Marj develops and conducts training programs that teach leadership through experience meeting real-world goals. These programs empower participants with leadership skills. Participants also acquire new knowledge through successful accomplishments in policy advocacy, conducting and understanding scientific research, and strengthening organizational systems.
Currently, Marj is conducting leadership training programs at the Women’s Policy Institute, Women’s Foundation of California and Reach the Decision Makers, UCSF Program on Reproductive Health and the Environment. In addition, Marj is developing leadership training curriculum for the Women’s Foundations’s Aging Justice Replication Project.
Marj has also designed and delivered an array of workshops and trainings for a multitude of organizations on leadership and management topics. Some examples:
- Board Lifestages
- Conflict Resolution
- Meeting Facilitation
- Goal Setting
- Major Donor Fundraising
- Communication Skills
- Team Building
“I have seen Marj take a loosely formed group of women, then provide just enough structure, encouragement and determined respect to mold us into a force to be reckoned with in our ability to impact legislation, provide local grassroots community organization, and improve overall health services in the state of California. Marj shapes, but doesn’t push; she guides, yet doesn’t pull; she reflects native talent, but does not hesitate to dazzle with brilliant advice when it is needed.”
—Rae Eby-Carl, Chief Operations Officer, Sutter Lakeside Community Services
