This insight article will provide you a quick glimpse into the Townsend Institute (TI) for Leadership and Counseling Competence & Character Growth Model. The growth model is the foundation by which leadership development, executive coaching, and other offerings are delivered to all CYP clients. The model is research-based and a proven and highly effective way to accomplish leadership development and growth.
