Management Accelerators

Nonprofits need exceptional managers, capable of handling anything that comes their way. GCN’s Management Accelerators make that possible, empowering team leaders with the skills that matter most.

What makes our Accelerators unique?

Skills that Stick

Informed by our experience training thousands of nonprofit pros.
What we teach, and how we teach it, is rooted in a deep understanding of what today’s nonprofit managers need to know and do to be successful.

Immediately Useful

Busy nonprofit managers need training that delivers now – not weeks from now.
That’s why we focus on “tipping point” skills – small changes that deliver big impact – accompanied by the frameworks, feedback, and real-world examples that make it easy to use them instantly and consistently.

Fun and Different

This is not your typical management training.
Because adults learn best when they are solving real-world problems, we use role-play, case studies, discussion groups, and games to get participants to apply new frameworks, change up their methods, and experience the results directly.

Support Beyond the Classroom

Completing courses is just the first step.
To ensure managers are supported throughout their journey, participants receive full access to a suite of tools, session recordings, and templates for implementation, plus follow-up email "mini-missions," invites to gatherings and events, and an ongoing support network.
