SUMMARY:Inspiring Leadership Through Emotional Intelligence
DESCRIPTION:Great leaders move us. They move us through a basic human process: our emotions. Although they talk of strategy and competition\, the great leaders establish a deep emotional connection with others called resonance. They are actively in tune with others around them. Their own levels of emotional intelligence (EI) allow them to create and nurture these resonant relationships. They use their EI as a path to resonant leadership through mindfulness\, hope\, and compassion.    \nUnfortunately\, most people in leadership positions lose their effectiveness over time. Because of the cumulative effect of the damage from chronic stress\, effectiveness in leadership and maintaining resonant relationships is not sustainable. But\, humans can revive themselves\, neurologically\, hormonally\, and emotionally. This process of renewal can reverse the ravages of chronic stress. Through renewal experiences a person can become more cognitive\, perceptually and emotionally open. They can innovate and learn. They can make informed\, astute decisions. They can be open to motivating others.    \nBased on decades of research into emotional intelligence competencies\, this training will focus on what resonance looks and feels like\, as well as ideas as to develop someone’s “resonant leadership” capability\, their emotional intelligence\, and the experiences of mindfulness\, hope\, and compassion. The process of change examined will address how to help individuals and teams develop\, organizations adapt and grow.   \nRegister here \nLearning Objectives\nThis session will address the following:    \n\nWhat is a great leader and how do we sustain effectiveness?  \nThe experience of “resonant leadership” in an organization\, the role of emotional intelligence\, mindfulness\, hope and compassion  \nHow do we develop it in ourselves and others?  \nA process for developing sustainable improvement on EI and resonant leadership   \nHow to coach others to develop EI\, resonant leadership\, mindfulness\, hope and compassion    \n\nTarget Audience\nDo you have a leadership role on your team? This training is for supervisors and anyone who manages staff or a team.   \nAbout the Presenters\nThis session will be led by Nesly Metayer with Judy Freiwirth. \nNesly Metayer has over 20 years of experience in management development with a special interest in POC-led organizations.

SUMMARY:Reimagining Governance for Nonprofit Organizations\, Networks\, and Coalitions
DESCRIPTION:There is growing interest and urgent need for reimaging governance and innovative approaches and models which are more responsive and accountable to the communities they serve\, while addressing racial equity and class. As current traditional hierarchal models of governance often lead to dysfunction and disconnection to communities\, new approaches are increasingly being adapted by nonprofits and coalitions across the U.S. This advanced workshop will focus on some of the leading-edge governance frameworks and applications and how you can connect and engage your communities more directly in your governance. These frameworks include: Community Engagement Governance\,™ (an innovative governance framework in which key constituents and key stakeholders share in racially equitable shared/distributed governance decision-making)\, BoardSource’s Purpose-Driven Board Leadership (grounds board decision making in community wisdom and pays attention to the ecosystem)\, Network Governance (governance with multiple organizations)\, and Liberatory Governance (focusing on racial equity and shared power between a governance team and staff).   \nRegister here \nLearning Objectives\nThis highly active virtual workshop will focus on hands-on experiential activities to increase learning and dialogue about these new approaches to governance.  Through this 3hour workshop\, board members and executive directors will:   \n\nIncrease their understanding of the foundational principles for some of the new governance frameworks and strategies to engage your communities more directly in your governance process. \nLearn about the benefits and challenges of these frameworks from case examples of nonprofits and coalitions who are experimenting with some of these new approaches to governance. \nExplore ways to apply some of the guiding principles of these new approaches to the governance of their own organization\, coalition\, or network. \nDevelop a plan to bring back their learning to their board or network/coalitions \n\nTarget Audience\nThis is an advanced level workshop and is limited to board members\, executive directors\, and senior staff that work directly with boards\, coalitions\, networks\, or other governance systems. Board members with their executive director are strongly encouraged to attend together as a team. As this workshop will offer very different ways of thinking about governance\, we encourage participation by those who have an open mind and are interested in experimentation. As the session will be highly participatory\, we are requesting all participants to use their cameras for the full workshop.    \nAbout the Presenters\nThis session will be led by Judy Freiwirth with Nesly Metayer. \nJudy Freiwirth\, Psy.D.\, Principal of Nonprofit Solutions Associates\, has been consulting and training nonprofit organizations for over 30 years\, especially those that focus on social change through movement building and coalitions\, immigrant rights\, and which serve communities of color.  She is nationally known as a thought leader and trainer in new approaches to governance and has been a keynote speaker and trainer at many international\, national\, and regional conferences.
