MKCircle CEO Institute is a distinguished firm specializing in Board Governance, Engagement & Practices Training & Coaching. Led by the esteemed Dr. Karen Semien-McBride, MAM, DBA, PsyD/DHL, a renowned executive trainer, and business strategist, our institute is dedicated to empowering non-profit organizations and small businesses.

At MKCircle CEO Institute, we firmly believe that self-aware nonprofit boards, working in constructive partnership with their chief executives, are best equipped to lead their organizations and continuously enhance their performance. To achieve this, boards must intentionally adopt good governance practices that improve their effectiveness.

Dr. McBride is the Co-creator and innovator of the Operations Style Assessment/The New Leadership Language. Through extensive research on leadership attributes, human behavior, and social psychology, she has developed a groundbreaking Leadership Language that executives, boards, and leaders can utilize to elevate their strategic decision-making, foster effective communication, shape compelling narratives, engage socially, and much more.

This transformative tool has not only shifted mindsets but has also cultivated Emotional Intelligence, fostered self-awareness and opened doors for leaders that were previously unexplored.
At MKCircle CEO Institute, our training and coaching programs support boards on their journey to becoming strategic assets for their organizations.

These programs are divided into three-part series:

Part 1: Requisite Systems of Governance: All boards are guided by these essential practices and systems to function successfully.

Part 2: Administrative Leadership & Governance: These practices and systems are adopted by boards to progress toward board effectiveness and ensure the long-term sustainability of the organization.

Part 3: Fiscal Responsibility & Compliance: These practices and systems focus on addressing financial and legal requirements, ensuring compliance with regulations and guidelines.

Through our comprehensive training and coaching, we empower boards to embrace effective governance practices, thereby strengthening their organizations and making a significant impact in their respective sectors.
