Event Description
Title
Curious, Critical, and Actionable Conversations: Elevating our Leadership in the New Normal
Presenter
Katie McCleary, Professor of Leadership, Pacific University
As nonprofit leaders, the quality of your conversations and the depth of your relationships matter. It's likely that you—and your team—spend your workday with people who do not share your background, values, theory of change, and/or perspective. Rarely can you, or your team, accomplish your mission alone. All of us need meaningful relationships with diverse stakeholders in our communities because that is where impact, growth, and "everyday leadership" makes a true difference. In this talk, you’ll learn how to show up better in this post-pandemic world to engage, empower, and equip people by elevating your approach to conversations.
For accommodation requests, please contact us at training@nonprofitoregon.org. Advanced notice of at least 10 days is appreciated.
