Blanchard Institute
Enabling every learner to become a self-reliant leader
Blanchard Institute (BI) is a US based non-profit organisation that was established over two decades ago by Ken and Margie Blanchard. Its vision is a world where every child can become a self-reliant leader. BI has exclusive permission to use Blanchard's content and intellectual property to adapt and tailor leadership training programmes for middle and high school students, without any charge to the students, teachers, facilitators, parents, schools, or organisations involved.
How the Blanchard Institute enables the next generation of self leaders
The Blanchard Institute is focused on leadership training for students aged 14 – 18 years to teach the mindset and skillset of a self-leader. We’ve taken what we know has worked best in the corporate world and adapted the content for young adults. Students explore how to take responsibility, communicate better, gain confidence, and set clear goals. Additionally, students who complete the class requirements earn a digital credential—perfect for adding to resumes and online portfolios.
Presently in Aotearoa and the Pacific Islands, students (and champions) are eligible to enrol in the globally-run Student Self Leadership Collaborative Online course. It is our intention in the coming years for Blanchard Aotearoa New Zealand to partner with The Blanchard Institute so that any virtual live events are run in a suitable local timezone.
Join our commitment to empowering students
The Blanchard Institute aims to break down the barrier to high-quality leadership programmes. We want to provide the same high standard of Blanchard training programmes to all middle and high school students, organisations, and the people who lead them. Help us change students’ lives. Bring this programme to your community or your organisation, or learn how to facilitate it.
