Transform Your Career with CLI: A Game-Changing Leadership Program

We`re incredibly proud of the impact the Civilian Leadership Institute (CLI) has had on civilian public safety professionals. This five-month program, facilitated by Embassy Consulting Services, is a rare gem for individuals who typically don`t have access to leadership training.

CLI is designed to change lives and careers by empowering participants to discover their strengths, overcome self-doubt, and grow into more confident and effective leaders. Due to its popularity in California, we`re now accepting applications for CLI in Scottsdale, AZ!

Don’t just take our word for it—here’s a powerful testimonial from one of our graduates:

"With the support of CLI and its exceptional facilitators, I was able to overcome the fears and doubts that once hindered my confidence in my abilities and skills. CLI provided valuable insights into my strengths while helping me identify areas for growth, empowering me to reach the next level in my professional career. The course was both bold and unapologetic in harnessing the potential of the civilian workforce. This shift in mindset allowed me to fully recognize the value I bring to organizations. This newfound understanding strengthened my resolve to serve in a more impactful role. Investing in myself by attending CLI was the best decision I made, and with their guidance, I earned a promotion to Administrative Manager with the Orange County Probation Department. I wholeheartedly encourage others to reinvest in themselves as well."

— Sunny Essoe, CLI Class #10

IS ETHICS A PERISHABLE SKILL?

Your initial response might be “no it’s not, I am an ethical person”.

Embassy Consulting Services firmly believes that ethics IS a perishable skill. Through training, self reflection and acquiring new tools, we believe you are better equipped to making the best ethically sound decisions, especially when confronted with ethical dilemmas every public safety professional faces.

This week, Embassy wrapped up it’s last Ethical Decision Making Training Course for the San Luis Obispo County Probation Department. Their leadership team, which were the first ones to attend the training, recognize the value of hiring us to design and deliver ethics training for their entire organization. Employees were provided with education, awareness, skills and strategies in order to make the best ethical decisions while working a a stressful and ever evolving profession.

Thank you to Chief Probation Officer Robert Reyes for recognizing the importance of ethics training and making the valuable investment for your department.
