Event Description

Title
Start the Year Right! – Supporting Team and Individual Well-Being in Purpose-Driven Organizations

Cohort Facilitator
Anna Young, Principal, Anna Young Consulting

This five-session learning cohort is an invitation to start 2023 by revisioning and recalibrating organizational well-being at the individual and team levels. As leaders, how can we share best practices and learn together while creating a safe space to talk about what is and is not going well?  

We will spend our time together mapping the current level of stress and burnout in our organizations and diagnosing the underlying causes; differentiating between "gravity problems" (that are part of the context and can’t be solved) and actual problems so we can focus our energy on what will make a difference; understanding the relationship between equity and well-being to make sure organizational policies benefit all; naming and defining success; and learning about how individual well-being impacts team dynamics and vice versa. 

You will walk away with tools, resources, and frameworks for conversations that you can take back to your own organization. 

Learning Outcomes

Participants will be able to:

• Spend time exploring their own wellness needs and their "inner saboteurs" that get in the way of meeting them.
• Understand how negative and positive emotions are contagious, therefore making well-being a "team sport."
• Map the obstacles to creating well-being within their teams and take steps to dismantle them. 
• Look at light-touch ways to talk about well-being and assess the health of their teams. 
• Develop strategies for creating or strengthening a culture of well-being within their organizations.
• Share best practices between organizations.

In between sessions, participants will have the opportunity to apply and reflect on how these tools are applicable in their day-to-day roles. 

Outline

• Participants make a commitment to all sessions so we can collectively work together and build a network of support. 
• Participants make a commitment to being open to using tools between sessions to enrich the conversation and discussion.
• Conversations will be held as confidential to allow for depth and breadth of exploration.
• This learning cohort is targeted towards leaders who are committed to effective communication.
• This learning cohort is intended to support Oregon-based 501(c)(3) nonprofits statewide. 
• Limit is 15 individuals with no more than two (2) representatives from one organization.
