“The Strategic planning training conducted by Oaktree Institute got our team on the same page and aligned with our, WHY, vision, mission, and goals. Big picture thinking is the easy part of the strategic planning process. What’s a little harder is the implementation of the strategic plan in practice and that’s what the trainer focused on. ”

"The Non-Profit Management workshop conducted by Oaktree Institute should be a requirement for each organization. This workshop is a great starting point to make the culture shift in our organizations to become more Prophetic."

"If you are in a leadership position, in any organization, you must attend the OTI summit. This was my second year at the summit and I can honestly say I learned more than the first year. We are presented with a broad base of information but what made the information truly useful was the practicality with which it was presented."

Testimonials
Oaktree Institute has taught me a lot. From strengthening my management skills to how to navigate within our communities. Oaktree’s training was a once in a lifetime training exercise which has helped me tremendously with my South East states. I am more equipped to handle some of the most difficult situations life throws at me and how to manage people effectively. Thank you for opening my eyes and showing me my hindsight!
Working with Oaktree Institute has been so helpful to me as a manager. It helped me refocus my efforts on my team members and understand the key aspects of developing a highly productive team. Their training helped me to have better 1 on 1 meetings with my staff to increase trust and performance. We are so lucky to not just have a one-off training. But to be able to have a series of trainings, building up on skills we’ve learn, along with bring real-time issues we are dealing with is game-changing.
One of the highlights of the training was the team-building exercises. They were not only fun but also highly effective in reinforcing the lessons we were learning. These activities allowed us to apply concepts in real time, fostering better collaboration and communication within our team. The balance between learning and hands-on experience made the training both enjoyable and impactful.
