Event Description
Title
Nonprofit Leader as Coach: How to Build and Support Strong Teams - Nonprofit Learning Cohort
Cohort Leader
Anna Young, Principal, Anna Young Leadership Coaching
Are you interested in building your coaching skills to support your leadership and management style, while at the same time having the opportunity to explore some of your own professional challenges within a safe and confidential space? Would you like to expand your understanding of coaching and how to support your team members in ways which lead them to have greater autonomy and ownership of their work, as well as building greater work satisfaction? Do you want to explore ways to be a supportive leader and manager within the constraints of working remotely?
This five-session interactive series will provide you with coaching tools and frameworks, while allowing you practice these with your peers, using real-life challenges that you are facing, working with an experienced executive and leadership coach. Each session will tap into some of the brain-science behind creating supportive working environments. Participants will receive tools and templates that they can use themselves as well as share with their teams. The sessions are designed to be applicable within the remote working environment as well as translate to a return to the workplace context.
Learning Outcomes
Participants will have:
- Built an understanding of the critical role coaching approaches can play for them as leaders
- Become familiar with and confident in using coaching best practices and tools within their teams.
- Had the opportunity to practice and apply these skills in providing peer support to each other.
- Been able to tackle a leadership challenge they are currently facing in a safe, supportive, confidential environment.
Over the course of the work together we will: learn new tools; use real life challenges to gain new perspectives and pathways forward; and, practice the role of ‘leader as coach’.
In between sessions participants will have the opportunity to apply and reflect on how these tools are applicable in their day to day roles.
