SUMMARY:Culture Change in Nonprofits: from fuzzy concept to practical action
DESCRIPTION:Description:\nMany nonprofit leaders know their organization needs to change -especially given the pressures we are under. Fewer know where to start. And when people say “we need to change our culture”; that phrase often creates more confusion than clarity. \nThis two-part workshop takes culture change seriously as a management challenge\, and treats it as one you can actually work on. The workshop is intended for nonprofit EDs and senior leaders; not just for the Heads of People & Culture. Board members will also benefit by learning about their role in organizational culture formation. You will leave with a clearer sense of what organizational culture is\, how to recognize it in your daily work\, and what you can do to shape it.\nThe sessions are grounded in the current pressures facing nonprofits: the need to rethink programming\, revenue strategies\, and operating models. Culture is not separate from those challenges. It either supports the direction you need to move in\, or it works against it. Across the two sessions\, you will explore what organizational culture actually consists of and how it shows up in practice. You will examine the gap between the culture your organization says it has and the behaviors people see day to day. You will work with practical tools to influence culture as a leader or manager\, and learn how to track whether change is actually\ntaking hold. And you will leave with a clear view of the first steps to take when you return to work.\nThe sessions draw on individual reflection exercises\, take-home worksheets\, and small peer group discussions where you will apply what you are learning. \nLearn more about our certificate programs! \nSchedule:\nSession 1: September 3\, 2026 @ 10 AM – 11:30 AM\nSession 2: September 10\, 2026 @ 10 AM – 11:30 AM\nFacilitator:\n \nTosca Bruno-van Vijfeijken has worked on (inter)national nonprofit and philanthropy issues for 30 years\, as a speaker\, consultant\, coach\, team coach\, facilitator and author. Her work focuses on leadership development\, team coaching\, change management\, governance and organizational culture. \nWhile her practitioner background mainly was grounded in the international development sector (World Bank\, United Nations\, think tanks and nonprofits)\, her research\, senior leadership development as well as change management work has focused on cross-sectoral New York state level as well as international nonprofit\, NGO and philanthropic organizations. She is co-author of the book ‘Between Power and Irrelevance: the Future of Transnational NGOs’ and host of the podcast NGO Soul+Strategy. Tosca is a Core Practitioner at the globally renowned team coaching company Corentus. \n\n\nWe request that organizations limit their registrations to 5 participants per workshop.
