About this event
NOTE: This is an in-person training in Los Angeles, CA
As leaders, we face constant challenge and crisis in leading our programs and organizations to serve our communities. After COVID-19 and the murder of George Floyd, the idea of crisis took on a whole new meaning both locally and globally. We cannot expect that current methods and models of leadership will continue to move society beyond the current crisis. In this session, we will reflect on how the nonprofit sector rose to meet the needs of the community, and consider the strengths they drew upon to approach myriad challenges. Together, we will explore leadership and then reflect on how we, as leaders, met the moment and worked through crisis, and consider how we, as leaders, can prepare for the next crisis, because there will be others.
Through this session, participants will:
- Reflect on how recent crises (particularly COVID-19) challenged leaders on multiple fronts and how nonprofit sector leaders responded to the changing environment and increased focus on racial inequity
- Discover the strengths that leaders who successfully pivoted used to address the multiple challenges
- Explore a model that frames positive approaches to leadership across various situations
- Identify specific strengths and expertise to build on in preparation for future crisis and a changing environment
Free Event & Lunch!
Lunch will be provided after the training.
