Strategic Planning Part 1 - Laying the Groundwork for an Effective Process
2024-09-10 10:00 - 11:30 (America/New_York) | WEBINAR
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.

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

Remote Team Management - Getting the right mindset, skillset, and toolset to make it work
2024-05-14 10:00 - 12:00
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.

Coaching Nonprofit Leaders - More Leading and Less Managing to Decrease Stress and Build Stronger Teams
2024-04-11 10:00 - 12:00
Description:
Mental fitness and emotional alignment tend to be seen as “nice to have” where, in reality, they are main causes of ineffectiveness and lack of results in teams. In this workshop, we will delve into our own personal makeups and that of our teams to understand how we can move from managing or micro-managing on a daily basis (leading to stress and burnout) to leading teams with resiliency, strength, and grace (leading to a better work environment and results). An ACC certified coach with International Coach Academy and Positive Intelligence™, Robin Yates, brings in multiple coaching modalities for nonprofit leaders to address their own stressors and to instill good practices for themselves and for their teams. We will give you tools that build on your innate sage powers, improve your team’s emotional literacy, and help you identify what your individual team member’s need to deliver upon the work at hand and grow as future leaders.
