Work With GHC: Leadership & Management Offerings

Leadership & Management Offerings

Global Health Corps has 15 years of leadership development experience and an award-winning approach to developing the capacity of emerging leaders working in social impact from the U.S. to Sub-Saharan Africa and beyond. We’ve built a tight-knit network of 1200+ and growing alumni, referred to as the “stickiest network” in global health. We’ve also pioneered a robust Theory of Impact and metrics to assess how our efforts result in more effective, influential, and collaborative professionals.

Do you or your grantees…

have first-time managers who need coaching and training to be more effective?
want your team to be stronger advocates and storytellers for your organization?
have a cohort of fellows or scholars who could use some support learning how to inspire and influence others?
have an upcoming staff retreat or training that could be enriched by leadership and management skill building sessions?

Have you or your grantees…

hired bright young people because of their fresh perspectives and energy, only to find that school didn’t prepare them to lead and manage in the real world?
tried to do some in-house or even external professional development without significant results?
accepted the status quo because you’re too busy to explore other options?
explored supercharging your programmatic investments by upskilling your people?

Partner with global health corps

GHC is now bringing this expertise to support other organizations and institutions seeking to harness the power of great leadership and management to drive social change. We offer a wide range of curriculum (co)design, facilitation, and consultation in areas including:

People & Project Management

We train emerging leaders to manage themselves effectively and to build trust, establish accountability, and get result through managing others.

Assessing Impact

We advise organizations on how to create meaningful metrics, design data collection tools, and track the impact of their training/leadership development initiatives.

Vision & Values

We train emerging leaders and new managers to develop a clearer understanding of their unique strengths and weaknesses, their personal values, and an informed understanding of how they’re perceived by others.

Systems & Design Thinking

We train emerging leaders to gain frameworks and tools to better understand, analyze, and change the systems we work and live in, starting with themselves and working through ecosystems.

Community Building/Alumni Programs

We advise organizations on how to build meaningful, lasting connections and foster collaboration among program participants beyond the initial program period. We also consult on developing programs that meet the changing needs of alumni as they advance in their careers.

Inspiring & Mobilizing

We train emerging leaders - especially women, people of color and Africans underrepresented in global development - to find and hone their unique voices, effectively share ideas via oral and written communication, and move their teams and communities to action.

GHC’s Approach

Customized for maximum relevance: GHC brings deep experience in co-designing and adapting curriculum to meet participants’ needs and contexts. We often use a co-facilitation approach to ensure our facilitation team represents diverse backgrounds and experiences so they can leverage unique perspectives during workshops.
Evidence-based and highly practical: GHC’s approach is rooted in well researched and evidence-based methods from diverse fields including leadership and management development, human-centered design thinking, systems thinking, social change, and transformative adult education. We integrate theory where it is in service of real-time practical application.
Engaging and inclusive: GHC staff are highly trained facilitation experts, skilled in creating engaging, accessible, and inclusive adult learning spaces virtually and in-person. We leverage multi-modal approaches (e.g. real-time surveys, videos, small group discussion, case studies) to match diverse learning styles and reinforce engagement. We bring a commitment to DEI to all of our trainings and equip participants to do the same in their leadership.
