We aim to rebrand leadership away from one of achieved status, to a role based on our capacity and willingness to support our community.

Imagine what our society would feel like if individuals took more ownership of how their communities operate, they were trained on how to collaborate effectively, and they had an ample supply of informed mentors or friends to support them during hardship.

We believe that we need more people to adopt the role of leader in our local communities in NEW ways. We believe that finding and resourcing emerging community leaders right now is the MOST ESSENTIAL step to our future well-being. These roles are “the bones” of society. These connections are slow to develop, but become the necessary foundation for social capital and community wellness.

It is OUR INTENTION to find, compel, resource and support people to adopt this new way of leadership.

WE PROMOTE AND RAISE OUR COLLECTIVE SOCIAL CAPITAL THROUGH THREE DIVERSE SERVICES.

The Leaders of the Future will rely on using the technology of the heart with trained discipline.

Our innovative leadership trainings aim to equip and protect people just like you—those who are ready and willing to generate more social capital in their interactions, instutions and through their local communities.

Meet Mindful Men…our flagship population service.

The National Institute of Health and other well established community health research findings continuously indicate that men are less likely to access, and also to benefit from, mental health and/or counseling services. Initial research suggests that role models and friends are one of the key interventions that improve men’s help-seeking attitudes, intentions, and actual actions. These peer figures often convey accurate information and key psychoeducational material, and often motivate men to persist in behavior change efforts and build on positive “male” traits (e.g. responsibility, direction and strength).  Our Mindful Men Mentoring Certification Program educates men in the community with the knowledge, tools and skills to become this type of mentor and friend to their peers, neighbors and possible clients.

Mindful Men has a free meet up every first Monday of the month (that’s a mouthful!). It’s just one of our multi-focused services to generate and nourish leadership in Tampa Bay.
