SUMMARY:The Power of Adaptability and Feedback
DESCRIPTION:Giving and receiving effective feedback is a cornerstone of leveraging self-awareness\, self-management\, individual/team performance\, and leadership potential. The typical workplace environment values communication greatly\, but the most significant barrier to effective communication is “assuming it has occurred.”  Do you tell more than you ask?  Judge everything you experience or learn from it? \nParticipants complete the DiSC Behavioral Assessment before the session (included in the fee). \nFocus: This workshop clarifies the value of developing “intentional feedback habits” in your leadership journey and illustrates how a process-based approach can eliminate gaps and maximize relationships with others. \nThis workshop examines the power of asking effective questions versus telling through behavioral style adaptability and self-awareness. The content in this workshop creates value that goes well beyond the workplace. \nWho Should Attend: This course is suitable for staff at all levels\, new learners\, and those who may want to revisit previous learning. \nPre-work or Assessment: Complete the DiSC Assessment \nNOTE: Registration closes 3 weeks in advance of class to allow participants to complete the assessment \nInvestment for this class: $155 \nRegister Now

SUMMARY:Million Dollar Gifts\, Part 2: Executing your Major Gifts Strategy
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation is the key to successfully scaling and sustaining the impact of nonprofits. When we don’t know IF our program works or WHY it works\, we may struggle to justify continued funding. We may also risk losing community engagement\, and we may disengage from the core mission that drives our work. In this session\, we will explore what and how to evaluate programs to ensure the future of your organization through scale and sustainability. Participants will leave with specific tools to implement and a stronger theoretical understanding of the nature of evaluation. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand the components of effective program development — planning\, executing\, and evaluating programs.\nIdentify resources available to support consistent professional development in program development skills.\n\nWho should attend: Nonprofit Management Program participants\, Nonprofit Development Officers\, Fundraising Professionals\, staff and anyone interested in enhancing their career with these skills. \nREGISTER HERE
