The Los Angeles-based AIDS Healthcare Foundation (AHF) is a global non-profit organisation, providing cutting-edge medicine and advocacy to over 1.5 million people in 45 countries.
AHF is a complex organisation for the leadership team, spread over many countries all over the world. Leaders collaborate closely with their global colleagues, which requires specific skills around agility and self-awareness. In addition, an organisation like AHF faces a challenging political landscape operating in 45 different countries in four continents, which leaders need to confidently and nimbly navigate as required.
In 2020, AHF’s European Secretariat – based in Amsterdam – was looking for ways to help their European leaders enhance their effectiveness. They specifically wanted to focus on growing leaders’ self-awareness and agility, reflecting the sense of urgency that comes with AHF’s challenging leadership work. In addition, there was a wish to focus on developing their Emotional Intelligence (EI), which ties in not only with the self-awareness development goal, but also leaders’ ability to understand other people’s viewpoints and influence them as required.
AHF Europe decided to work with Talogy on this project, both because of our market-leading Emotional Intelligence tools, and because we already had a warm and trusting relationship from working together on previous projects.
