Non-Profit (PDF)
Non-profit organizations have been squeezed in the last decade between significant budget cuts, increased demand for services and a rapid pace of organizational change. In a sector dedicated to offering necessary and accessible public services, programming as well as advocacy that benefit the overall health and sustainability of a society, there is more need for effective, compassionate and visionary leadership. How do you find the balance between the increasing demand for measurable outcomes and staying true to organizational values? How successful is your organization in integrating the philosophy you espouse externally with how well you are functioning internally as a staff team? With our background in the non-profit sector, we offer unique programs focusing on effective leadership, diversity and skills training in order to support non-profit leaders in navigating this time of rapid change.

“Annahid Dashtgard represents a new kind of leadership that the world desperately needs. She is intelligent, both intellectually and emotionally: thoughtful, thorough, political and spiritual. It is wonderful to witness her work holistically and without ego. I have changed greatly from her guidance and insights.”
Judith Dunstan, Registered Social Worker and Psychotherapist
“Shakil Choudhury, of Anima Leadership, is once again on the cutting edge of educational work that challenges the borders that separate us… He is a wonderful teacher of teachers because he is so forthright, honest, and approachable; he shares the struggles and contradictions of his work as well as the successes, so that people can identify with him and imagine themselves taking on their dreams and undertaking ambitious and heart-felt projects…”
Deborah Barndt, Associate Dean, Faculty of Environmental Studies, York University
