Practice Areas



Areas of Expertise



Since 1996, the Institute for Successful Leadership has applied ecological approaches to address health priorities and create trauma-informed, culturally competent health initiatives, policies, and organizations to improve health status of under-served populations across the lifespan

and around the globe.


ISL accomplishes its mission by providing the following expert services to diverse academic, community-, civic- and faith-based, local, state, national and international Client-Partners:



Public Health Program Design & Policy Development



The art and science of public health requires intentional engagement of multiple sectors of community systems and representatives to initiate and sustain behavioral, socio-cultural, structural and environmental change. ISL's Key Staff offer unparalleled expertise in creating and guiding such efforts in diverse cultural settings and locales to improve qualities of life across the lifespan. ISL's mantra is to empower all communities toward sustained healthy and equitable health outcomes.



Health Diversity, Equity & Inclusion



Emerging and veteran organizations of all sizes must recognize the benefits of actively listening and responding to the needs of internal and external stakeholders. Success and sustainability are often associated with organizations' abilities to excel at both. By assessing existing policies and enacting new approaches to engage new audiences, organizations can realize new ROIs and horizons.


Further, by analyzing key topics in equity approaches and identifying tangible methods in addressing key needs for unique populations, organizations can determine how best to address DEI agendas individually, collectively, clearly and succinctly.

​



Professional Development & Capacity Building



The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is unprecedented in its influence on professional aptitude, community impacts, and organizational capacities. ISL Key Staff and Consultants combine varied expertise to customize training, capacity building, and technical assistance to meet unique the changing needs of communities and organizations to initiate systems-level changes to promote wellness moving forward.

​

Specifically, enhancing health literacy and accomplishing health communication objectives remains at the forefront of ISL vision and the foundation of its health promotion and risk reduction efforts.

​



Since its inception, ISL has utilized multifaceted, mental, physical, spiritual and ethical approaches to cultivate improved comprehensive health status in vulnerable populations, and not merely the absence of disease.

By developing and implementing community-centered, research-based, theoretically sound, behavioral and socio-cultural health interventions and training curricula for
diverse audiences from community laypersons to C-Suite executives,
ISL has mobilized change in multiple community sectors simultaneously,
