The Five Spark Platform
Understanding Strengths
Help participants use group calls, readings, and targeted exploratory work to identify their greatest talents and reveal ways to creatively apply those talents toward solving pressing problems in their communities. We believe that focusing on strengths rather than weaknesses, is the only way to truly achieve success.
The “Inside” Job
Guide participants in working through fears and identifying hidden biases. Successful leaders need to understand and confront the gremlins that hold them back, and understand that everyone around them faces their own, unique obstacles, as well.
Finding Your Compelling Purpose
Support focused service. Ignited Nation believes in the power of service, which is why we incorporated an interactive, inspiring way for participants to identify and support the causes that truly matter to them — either those currently supported by their organizations, or other interest areas of their choosing.
Smarter Partnerships, Launching Final Projects
Advocate collaboration. Leaders are rarely taught how to maximize partnerships. They either fall into a great collaboration, and don’t know why it works, or they struggle when partnered with people who are different from themselves.
Giving Back, Making it Real: Presenting Final Projects Content
Put learning into action. Ignited Nation believes strongly that service is a critical component to employee engagement and corporate citizenship. Participants will plan, design, and execute a meaningful, real-world project while working in tandem with a partner. The team will apply their experiences and learning from the program to ignite change in the world.
