Upcoming Training and Events
Adaptive Supervision (January)
(This workshop is full) Skilled, intentional, and strategic supervision is integral to organizational success and employee satisfaction. Effective supervisors, whether new to the role or coming with a wealth of experience, tap into self-awareness, are adaptive, and leverage a range of interpersonal skills. This workshop will help supervisors use these practices to create a culture of mutual respect — one in which employees and supervisors communicate regularly and clearly about job-related expectations, tasks, and overall performance.
Become a Power Presenter
Learn to be a powerful presenter. Using a theater-derived approach and practical “on-your-feet” exercises, this workshop will give you the tools required to engage your audience with warmth, confidence and clarity.
Introduction to Fundamentals of Board Effectiveness
This workshop is focused on helping nonprofit leaders, board leaders, and board members understand the foundations of board effectiveness. Participants will learn about standards and best practices in nonprofit boards, and will walk away with an action plan that draws from specific theories, models, and tools that they will learn to use over the course of the session.
Creating a High Performance Board
This workshop will focus on evidence-based strategies and practices that can serve as the catalyst for improving the performance of your already functional board.

Customer Service: Getting It Right Every Time

We will pay special attention to the impact of COVID-19 on LGBTQ+ communities and other topics relevant to your organizations.
