The original Leadership Outfitters, created in 1997, Leadership Outfitters prides itself in providing a balanced mix of theory, interaction, and practical application in all our content design and facilitation. Our interactive approach to strategic thinking and organizational development provides participants with an opportunity to consider a variety of aspects and perspectives impacting the organization’s future. Our intentional approach allows volunteer and staff leadership to share knowledge and ideas as they sort through new approaches. We urge participants to engage in provocative thinking and exploration of "what if?" We accomplish this through a variety of strengths-based facilitation techniques and interactive activities. Our programs are known for being highly interactive and dynamic producing purposeful ideas for immediate implementation. Leadership Outfitters is a consortium of seven primary content catalysts lead by Dr. Steve Swafford, IOM and Jill McCrory who combined have over 60 years of experience working for and with nonprofits, small businesses, volunteer-based organizations, corporations, universities, and public agencies. Leadership Outfitters facilitators specialize in various areas of leadership development, strategic planning, communication, group facilitation, and staff training.
