Whole Leader Program

The incredible role diversity within municipalities creates unique internal challenges. Most of which do not best serve those you are serving!

It is a unique group of individuals who come together to serve and lead their communities within municipal government. With a varied service offering over multiple departments (requiring a high level of service within each!), varied personalities blending together, and a citizen/public “customer”, municipal leaders are taxed in a unique way …pun intended

The UPwords Inc. Municipal Whole Leader Program™ is designed for communities whose leaders are ready to level UP their skillset. Move past departmental upsets and inter-department conflict. Focus on wholeness within the municipal setting. Help municipal leaders get out of their own way, and be the best versions of themselves.

The three primary foundational program components include:

  1. Self-awareness (including assessment)

  2. Communication & Team

  3. Leadership

Program content, time, and duration is customized around the needs of your specific government. High-level goals include:

  • Self-awareness

  • Team building/Connection

  • Leadership development

  • Communication

  • Fun!

Municipal Whole Leaders™ are positioned to best serve their citizens.
