Make a Positive Impact & Earn $ With Civility Partners

by Jul 24, 2024

You read our blog every week because you care about an inclusive work environment for all individuals at all levels. Either you consult in a similar space, or want to have an impact on your own workplace.

For the past 15 years, Civility Partners has been on a mission to transform workplaces into environments where positivity and respect flourish. To that end, our dedicated team of facilitators, coaches, and consultants works tirelessly across the globe, helping organizations create sustainable behavior and culture change.

And, we’ve done wonders so far. The organizations we’ve worked with can attest to that. (Hint, there’s case studies at that link.)

One sticking point, however, is that HR has a hard time addressing toxic leaders head on because they can’t get permission from their leadership to do so. Leaders are afraid to address the behavior for fear of losing a high-value employee who gets results.

When leadership does agree to get the toxic leader some coaching, we hear that many executive or leadership coaches don’t want to take these clients on – or worse, took the client on without the ability to make an impact.

Indeed, these toxic leaders need specialized coaching from someone who knows how to help them make significant changes in their behavior.

That’s where our transformational coaching program comes in.

To extend our impact, we’ve created a referral program for those who believe in our mission and want to help other organizations benefit from our very niche coaching expertise. By referring clients who want to coach their toxic, uncivil, or bullying leader, you can earn extra income while making a positive difference.

Check out this flyer for more details.

If you want to learn more, meet with us to discuss, or get your questions answered, just respond to this email and we’ll get you what you need.

You’re also free to check out this case study, and this one too.

We can’t wait to partner with you in order to have the largest impact possible around the globe. Our vision is, after all, a world where every employee at every level is treated with civility. 

PS: We’re conducting a webinar on “Getting Leadership to Listen to HR” on August 28th, 10am PST. Join us to explore strategies for gaining leadership support for your culture initiatives. Feel free to invite friends, family, and colleagues who might find this valuable. Grab your seat here!

Do you know how much money chronically bad behavior costs your company? Spoiler alert – it’s a LOT higher than you want it to be. Download our data and worksheet to see how it’s costing your organization and what you can do to fix it.
