Key Learning Areas:
Storytelling - Storytelling is the foundation of effective coaching and one of the most powerful tools a leader can use. At Messy Roots, we teach an in-depth storytelling method that empowers leaders to share impactful stories with the world while cultivating their coaching practice.
Social Impact Curriculum - We’ve developed a modernized coaching curriculum specifically for leaders in social impact spaces. In this MRCA, you’ll learn the deep research and analysis of our three core coaching approaches—Narrative, Transformative, and Liberatory—that will equip you to lead one-on-one conversations, ask strategic questions, and provide meaningful feedback to grow your team members.
Sustainability - We provide a comprehensive resource library filled with tools to help you build sustainable leadership practices for yourself and your team. In addition, we teach leaders how to easily design and customize their own resources. We also help you create a sustainable coaching practice.
