Transforming Leadership, Workplaces, and Communities

WHY SOLIDAGO?

Solidago is the scientific name for goldenrod, a resilient flower known for its ability to grow in diverse conditions and bring life wherever it takes root. We chose the name Solidago Institute because it reflects what we believe about people and communities: that growth is possible in imperfect conditions, that strength can be gentle, and that transformation begins from within. Like goldenrod, our work is about cultivating resilience, connection, and renewal, helping leaders and organizations not just survive change, but flourish through it. We believe you can, grow anywhere.

What We Can Build Together

Our custom trainings can take many shapes, including:

Workshops & Retreats β€” immersive sessions designed to spark dialogue, reflection, and action.

Leadership Intensives β€” focused development programs that equip your leaders with practical tools to lead inclusively.

Community Conversations β€” guided discussions that address sensitive topics with care and courage.

Skill-Building Series β€” multi-session programs that layer learning over time for sustained impact.

Each program we create is informed by your needs, grounded in evidence-based practices, and infused with the Solidago spirit: warm, welcoming, and focused on real-world application.
