Professional Development

Leadership Program in New Mexico

The Mountain Center’s Professional Development Program custom builds various aspects of leadership and management development as well as individual and organizational self-care and renewal with a holistic and intrinsic approach.

Think about it: What can rock climbing teach me about leadership? What can being suspended in the air 25 feet off the ground teach me and/or the team holding my rope about trust, support, and the importance of healthy communication? What can learning mindfulness practices of being in the moment and connected to my breath teach me about being a better supervisor? How can laughing and having fun while learning a new concept or perspective in leadership be beneficial for me as an individual and for the culture of the organization of which I am a part?

Answering these types of questions supports growth both personally and professionally, and we strive to create professional group experiences that deepen and integrate this type of profound change. 

Through active learning experiences, The Mountain Center helps groups identify and practice creating a safe and supportive environment, then encourages people to face challenges, be brave and reflect on their learnings and link them to their professional lives.

If your staff needs renewal or group team building, or your board needs some bonding and vision time, we can design the right program for your team.
