The Groundwater Institute, in collaboration with the Indianapolis Foundation, regularly hosts a powerful 1.5-day immersive training designed to give leaders the deep understanding and practical tools needed to drive organizational and societal impact. This formative experience equips participants with the ability to clearly see how systems produce the outcomes we live with today, while offering a framework and shared language that fosters stronger problem-solving and collaboration. Participants walk away with not just new insights, but a renewed commitment to creating lasting change.
The immersive training delivers both depth and clarity—combining data, expert facilitation, and dialogue across lines of difference. Leaders will leave with: a clear and actionable narrative that defines their unique role; an approach to measure progress and take tangible steps toward long-term goals; and the ability to build coalitions that are powerful, credible, and diverse enough to drive change. Whether you are a senior executive, a frontline practitioner, or a community leader, the program adapts to your context and empowers you to translate knowledge into practice.
Past participants describe the training as “a safe, powerful space for learning” and “an experience that gave our team a common language for talking about equity in our work.” This is not just another training—it is a perspective shift that strengthens how leaders show up at work, in their organizations, and in life.
