At Goodwill of Mississippi, we believe that strong leadership is the foundation of success—not just for our organization, but for the individuals and communities we serve. That’s why we are thrilled to launch an ongoing leadership training series in 2025, designed to equip our team with the tools and strategies needed to lead with confidence and purpose.
Yesterday, we kicked off this exciting initiative with an engaging session led by Everett Shuppe, an experienced leadership coach and mentor. The training focused on Transformational Leadership, a leadership approach centered around inspiring and motivating others to reach their full potential. Participants explored key leadership principles, including:
Leading with vision and purpose – Understanding how clear, mission-driven leadership can inspire teams.
Building trust and communication – Creating an environment where collaboration and transparency thrive.
Empowering others – Encouraging personal and professional growth to strengthen teams.
The session was not only insightful but also interactive, providing employees with actionable strategies they can apply in their daily roles. As an organization committed to lifelong learning and professional development, we know that investing in our employees strengthens both our workplace culture and the services we provide to the community. In 2025, we will continue offering a series of development opportunities that will challenge and empower our team to grow as leaders. By fostering strong, purpose-driven leadership, we ensure that Goodwill of Mississippi remains a place where employees, job seekers, and the community can thrive together.
