The American Leadership Forum (ALF) is a nationwide non-profit organization
whose mission is to build and sustain a community of leaders to
serve the public good. ALF enhances leadership by building on the
strengths of diversity and by promoting collaborative problem solving
in communities. The American Leadership Forum was founded to revitalize
leadership within communities across the nation. It responded to
dramatic changes American cities were experiencing in their racial
and ethnic diversities such as the breakdown of traditional top-down
authority, radical shifts in established power bases, and in a basic
lack of understanding, trust and respect among communities' diverse
leadership elements. Carefully selected leader participants take
part in 22 days of study over the course of their year-long enrollment.
Moementum provides the modules on Systems Thinking and Communication
Styles for the Tacoma and Oregon ALF entities. “Moementum's
well organized and interactive approach to a complex subject is
very well received by ALF program participants. She engages and
energizes the class throughout her presentation; the lively dialogue
greatly enhances the learning environment."
Ann Brown, Executive Director
Due to negative experiences with one another and poor legacy leadership,
the management team of a large retail company’s finance department
could barely speak with civility to one another, much less partner
on tough projects in support of their internal customers. Through
one-on-one coaching and small group mediation sessions, Moementum
was able to help them achieve breakthrough in their relationships
with one another and develop new commitments for how to work together.
Their customer complaints have decreased sharply and employee morale
and motivation has significantly increased.
The co-owners of a small retail furniture operation find themselves
challenged with how to lead a new type of employee (non-college
educated, somewhat transient, under-trained) and notice that their
friendly relationship of past years has become strained and difficult.
Through assessment and facilitated feedback, they learn new skills
for partnership that allow them to congruently manage their team
and their own partnership in a way that fuels their passion for
the store and for their leadership roles.
