What is ProLead?

In the spring of 2017 we sat down to create a leadership training curriculum.  We knew that in order for authentic and lasting change to be realized, it had to be motivated by an internal value system. 

Now, four years later, ProLead, (a Haitian acronym for “employee leadership”) has a coaching staff of nine that carry the culture and over 800 ProLead certified employee leaders, that have completed the training and are ready to be “solutions” for business owners.

How it Works

Our team of highly trained coaches lead men and women through a 12 week course that prepares them to be employee solutions, making ProLead graduates invaluable to the companies that hire them. Hundreds of men and women have completed ProLead and are impacting businesses throughout the city.  Our impact statistics* show ProLead is a cultural changing program. It is critical to the transformation of Gonaives and Haiti! 

The Why

 Our years here on the ground have taught us, the need is culture transformation. The barriers to success that poverty mentality presented could not be overcome with skills training. Our training focuses on dismantling the traditional attitudes rooted in hundreds of years of injustice.  Cultural legacies towards employment and service have crippled business in Haiti. ProLead addresses these issues.
