OUR MISSION

We are leaders – We are mentors – We are Arrowmen – and we exist: "To create a partnership between the national organization and lodge leaders which will empower them to achieve high performing status.” We strive to activate a strong connection that will allow lodge leaders to recognize opportunities, maximize resources, and move the Order of the Arrow forward.

WHAT IS THRIVE?

Thrive is the OA’s national consulting program that empowers lodges to overcome their unique challenges through individualized mentorship.

Thrive utilizes a collaborative mix of informational discovery, transformational coaching, & targeted messaging, to help lodge leaders achieve high performance through their roles. Through a captivating discovery and coaching process, we’ll help lodge leaders unlock the potential, crystallize the authenticity, and unleash the creation of their results to achieve a breakthrough in performance.

HOW DOES THRIVE WORK?

  1. We’ll spend some time getting to know both you, and your lodge. We’ll deep dive into the challenges your lodge is facing as well as identify your strong areas of success!
  2. Together, we’ll craft an inspiring promise and define specific and measurable results that we will achieve, as well as a bold possibility– inspiring future for your lodge, with one foot in reality and the other in possibility.
  3. We’ll engage in an in-depth atmosphere centered around personalized coaching to enable you and your team to overcome obstacles, break boundaries, and challenge assumptions.
  4. Finally, we’ll use the newly founded implementation plan, guided by your promise and possibility to launch a roadmap to ensure the achievement of high performing status for your lodge.

WHO’S INVOLVED?

We’ll engage with stakeholders at all levels of your lodge, allowing for both cross collaboration as well as youth to youth coaching and adult mentorship. Together, we’ll develop a working team of individuals who are crucial to the success of your lodge, and partner together to catalyze positive momentum.

Our Thrive partners consist of highly qualified, passionate Arrowmen who have served at various levels of the organization, ranging from lodge leaders to national officers. Each individual is hand-picked to support lodge leaders in creating a breakthrough experience.
