Remote Team Management - Getting the right mindset, skillset, and toolset to make it work
2024-05-14 10:00 - 12:00 (America/New_York) | WEBINAR
Description:
Remote and/or hybrid work is a reality that some love and some hate. As a leader in your organization, how can you make sure that no matter where and how your staff works that they do so collaboratively, effectively, and in line with your organizational values? It would be great if there were one tool you could buy that would make it all a snap. Tools, however, are only one part of the solution. Having the right mindset and skillset to manage this environment are critical as we’re all human with our own emotions and aspirations. In this workshop, we will discuss the psychological needs in order to operate seamlessly together, tools that can assist in building alignment, and techniques for communicating effectively. As an added bonus we will include a method for how your team can get to know each other right down to the personal values level and what that knowledge can do for your organization.

3-Part Webinar ( Attendance to all three workshops encouraged)
Certificate Program: Executive Leadership; Leadership & Supervision
Description:
Is there a difference between the skills and qualities that earned you the manager role and those that will help you effectively lead your team? Many leaders and managers supervise staff by the seat of their pants or based on the management styles and characteristics of leaders they admire or based on what they did not like in their own supervision.

Now offered as a three-part series of three 90 minute sessions, this training will also touch upon supervision with an equity and inclusion lens as well as managing teams remotely. This training is designed to provide leaders with an action-oriented framework that increases both the quantity and quality of performance conversations by matching an individual’s readiness level for a specific task with the appropriate leadership style.
In this workshop, participants will:

Learn how to foster healthy working relationships with direct reports, teams, supervisors, and colleagues particularly amidst the stressors of the current operating environment;
Analyze their own and staff members needs in terms of “readiness” to undertake and successfully accomplish tasks
Establish a process for creating working agreements, setting and communicating expectations, and providing and receiving effective feedback
Explore the common pitfalls leading to miscommunication

Strategic Planning Part 1 - Laying the Groundwork for an Effective Process
2024-09-10 10:00 - 11:30
Description:
The first of a two part series on Strategic Planning! In this first workshop we delve into how to scope your planning efforts. The biggest time crunch in completing a strategic plan is in completing the discovery work needed to make sure your plans are based on a realistic view of where you are both internally and externally. In this workshop we will share techniques for learning how to get a handle on your current and possible future states even before you develop the questions you would like your strategic plan to address. We will dig into important questions such as: What does it take to analyze your internal capabilities, program effectiveness, and external forces? How do you ask good questions (and of whom) to inform your planning? Who needs to be involved in creating your strategic plan? Whether you are ready to jump in on completing a full strategic plan or want to get a head start by creating a good foundation for when you are ready to do so, this workshop will give you the tools you need to put the right plan in place to do what is right for you right now.

Strategic Planning Part 2 - Executing on an Approach that works for Your Organization
2024-09-17 10:00 - 12:00
Description:
This second part of our series on Strategic Planning takes you into what typically goes into creating a strategic plan against a backdrop of the scoping work you completed in our first workshop. We will talk through each of the elements within the three phases of a strategic planning process: Discovery, Plan Development, and Implementation. You will leave with a template of activities based on what you identify as necessary to get underneath the core questions to be addressed within your plan, including timing, owners, and expected outcomes. Where some dread a strategic planning process, you will see how planning ahead on the effort itself can bring a team together, excite them about the direction you’re going, and build professional skills along the way.

3-Part Webinar ( Attendance to all three workshops encouraged)
Certificate Program: Executive Leadership; Leadership & Supervision
Description:
Is there a difference between the skills and qualities that earned you the manager role and those that will help you effectively lead your team?

Now offered as a three-part series of three 90 minute sessions, this training will also touch upon supervision with an equity and inclusion lens as well as managing teams remotely. This training is designed to provide leaders with an action-oriented framework that increases both the quantity and quality of performance conversations by matching an individual’s readiness level for a specific task with the appropriate leadership style.
In this workshop, participants will:

Learn how to foster healthy working relationships with direct reports, teams, supervisors, and colleagues particularly amidst the stressors of the current operating environment;
Analyze their own and staff members needs in terms of “readiness” to undertake and successfully accomplish tasks
Establish a process for creating working agreements, setting and communicating expectations, and providing and receiving effective feedback
Explore the common pitfalls leading to miscommunication
Examine why one technique does not work for every person; leadership style is driven by the situation
Improve capacity to effectively supervise, coach and mentor

This workshop is best suited for:

New supervisors
Anyone who wants to improve their supervisory skills

Does your team need to go through significant change to rise to new levels of effectiveness and cohesion, align with new leadership or strategy, or enable new ways of working? There are
potential minefields along the way, in terms of change management. The history of big organizational processes in the nonprofit sector is littered with change processes that fizzled
out, or led to serious internal, protracted conflict and paralysis and left staff demotivated.

what nonprofit leaders have learned about how humans absorb
change, and
important behaviors, habits and practices leaders and managers need to maintain.
You will walk away with greater understanding as well as tools to support your communication,
maintain staff motivation and deal with resistance as well as reactance to change.
We will engage in hands-on learning, with worksheets to take away and share with your teams,
case studies discussed in small groups, and value-add handouts with extra resources.

Supervisory Essentials: Managing People and Leading Teams
2025-05-13 13:00 - 2025-05-27 15:00
3-Part Webinar ( Attendance to all three workshops encouraged)
Certificate Program: Executive Leadership; Leadership & Supervision
Description:
Is there a difference between the skills and qualities that earned you the manager role and those that will help you effectively lead your team? Many leaders and managers supervise staff by the seat of their pants or based on the management styles and characteristics of leaders they admire or based on what they did not like in their own supervision.
Through discussions, case studies, and interactive activities, you will learn skills and techniques to match your leadership style to the needs and behaviors of your team, promote success, and build a team culture of collaboration, empowerment, and trust. Now offered as a three-part series of three 90 minute sessions, this training will also touch upon supervision with an equity and inclusion lens as well as managing teams remotely. This training is designed to provide leaders with an action-oriented framework that increases both the quantity and quality of performance conversations by matching an individual’s readiness level for a specific task with the appropriate leadership style.
In this workshop, participants will:

Learn how to foster healthy working relationships with direct reports, teams, supervisors, and colleagues particularly amidst the stressors of the current operating environment;
Analyze their own and staff members needs in terms of “readiness” to undertake and successfully accomplish tasks
Establish a process for creating working agreements, setting and communicating expectations, and providing and receiving effective feedback
Explore the common pitfalls leading to miscommunication
Examine why one technique does not work for every person; leadership style is driven by the situation
Improve capacity to effectively supervise, coach and mentor

This workshop is best suited for:

New supervisors
Anyone who wants to improve their supervisory skills

NOTE: This workshop should be taken prior to all other workshops for Leadership & Supervision Certificate enrollees. This workshop is also included in the Executive Leadership Certificate program. Attendance to all 3 webinars is required for certificate enrolled.

Shaping your Organizational Culture: how you can make it happen
2025-06-03 10:00 - 12:00
Description:
Let’s admit it: ‘organizational culture’ can be fuzzy to pin down. In this workshop, we ‘demystify’ organizational culture. You will learn how you can ‘see’ culture, how it shows up in practical ways, and what you can do as a leader or manager when you want to influence or shape culture.
Attendees get answers to important questions such as:

What in the current culture of your nonprofit supports your organization’s strategic direction? And what does not?
Why it’s important to heed any gap between your espoused (aspirational) culture and the real in-use behaviors, habits and actions.
Finally, you will walk away with practical levers and tools for culture change as well as clarity on what are the first critical actions you can take following the session.

We will keep you engaged through the use of individual reflection exercises, take-home worksheets and plenary as well as small group work based on discussion prompts and case studies.
