Developing leaders in the not-for-profit sector.
Common Purpose has worked with the American Express Foundation since 2010 to deliver its Leadership Academies for not-for-profit leaders. Over 1,000 leaders from the not-for-profit sector, who are tackling some of society's most complex issues, have attended the Academy programmes in the UK, India, Singapore and Hong Kong.
"Nonprofits are facing high leadership turnover and burnout at a time when their services are needed the most. We transformed the Leadership Academy to help nonprofit leaders accelerate their development and build new skills to meet the unique challenges of this moment. "

"I realized during the course that I was completely burnt out before, and this course has helped me to reignite my passion in my work to a certain extent and also to own the label of a 'leader' a bit more! I definitely walk with more confidence in my own truth."
"You leave having built all these relationships with people from all walks of life. The next time a challenging situation comes up at work you can pick up the phone and bounce ideas off someone you trust, who will give you a fresh perspective. "
