1.      How to conduct effective one-on-one meetings

2.      Practical coaching and mentoring for non profit leaders

3.      Practical team building for nonprofit leaders

4.      How to lead without authority

Workshop 1: How to conduct effective one-on-one meetings

Do you meet regularly with your staff?  Do you find these meetings frustrating and a waste of time? While regular one-on-one meetings with staff can be the most effective way to build employee engagement, team morale, and improve performance they often devolve into ineffective “update” meetings.  

In this interactive workshop participants will learn the five practices that drive effective one-on-ones.  Participants will take part in exercises to develop their skills. Finally, they will learn how to avoid the four common pitfalls that derail one-on-ones.  By the end of the session, you will have practical skills you can take back to your workplace.

Workshop 2: Practical coaching and mentoring for nonprofit leaders

Effective coaching and mentoring are critical to driving employee engagement and organizational performance.  But as a nonprofit leader, coaching and mentoring can often seem to be a daunting and esoteric practice.  

In this interactive workshop participants will learn the four practices that drive effective coaching and mentoring in the workplace.  Participants will take part in exercises to develop their skills.  Finally, they will learn how to identify situations when coaching and mentoring are not appropriate.  By the end of the session, you will have practical skills you can take back to your workplace.

Workshop 3: Practical Team Building for nonprofit leaders

In a world of remote work and quiet quitting, building effective teams is one of the greatest challenges that nonprofit leaders face. But, to be successful, it is a challenge that nonprofit leaders must overcome.

In this interactive workshop participants will learn the twelve characteristics of the most successful teams, and how to build them in your workplace.  Participants will take part in exercises to develop their skills.  Finally, they will learn how to avoid the common pitfalls that undermine teams and team building.  By the end of the session, you will have practical skills you can take back to your workplace.

Workshop 4: Leading without authority

Whether it is working on cross-functional teams, guiding volunteers or board members, or collaborating with colleagues from other organizations, as nonprofit leaders we often must lead in situations where we have no authority.  This is particularly challenging for leaders used to highly structured organizations.

In this interactive workshop participants will learn the eight practices that drive successful collaborative leadership.  They will also learn the four common pitfalls that derail nonprofit leaders when they try to lead without authority.  By the end of the session, you will have practical skills you can take back to your workplace.
