Personal Empowerment
What is Personal Empowerment?
Personal Empowerment is a signature personal skills training program that helps individuals make the internal changes necessary to transform their lives and their communities. Personal Empowerment develops the skills needed for long-term success, including self awareness, emotional regulation, self esteem, empathy and relationship skills.
Participants in the Twin Cities RISE! Core Program take four Empowerment courses over a total of 32 weeks: Empowerment Foundation, Empowerment Framing, Empowered Thinking, and Empowerment Maintenance. Staff members also go through Personal Empowerment, and concepts are reinforced in coaching sessions and other courses.

Twin Cities RISE!’s Personal Empowerment Training is being used at companies, nonprofits and schools around the country. Our external partners have learned that Personal Empowerment skills positively affect organizational outcomes at many levels, including:
