Why We Need To Invest In Transforming Our Leadership Style
To effectively collaborate, we must build deep trust. With trust established, we are primed to do the work of advancing equity - narrowing the power gap, elevating marginalized voices, safely including non-normative perspectives and generating group genius.
Leaders set the tone of an organization. Through their actions, leaders create culture, catalyze employees and create the conditions for individual and team success. New skills and practices are needed to ensure we are effectively able to juggle the myriad of tasks, changes and challenges our sector faces; while supporting our staff in performing to their highest potential.
In this course, participants will cover a range of leadership topics in a sequence that is intended to support them in learning theories and models of effective leadership in fluid environments. Between workshops, participants will be invited to practice these concepts in real life via the Slack Channel, peer coaching pods and 1-on-1 coaching with the instructor.
In this 6 month, small cohort-based course, emerging leaders will learn, practice and support one another in implementing tools and creative processes to engage diverse groups while ensuring safety of participation, equality of contribution and activation of all participants' thought centers.

He is able to meet groups of people where they are collectively and individually and through a mix of mind and heart move things towards greater functioning, clarity, shared understanding and optimism.
