HR Essentials: The Gift of Feedback
With Linda Strauss
Many leaders avoid addressing issues until the molehill has grown into a mountain, and most employees say they want more feedback than they get. This session reframes feedback as a gift you get to give rather than something to be avoided, and offers practical language and structure for the conversations leaders tend to dread: addressing a performance concern, redirecting a behavior, and recognizing good work in a way that actually lands. We'll also cover how to receive feedback well, because the leaders who do it best are usually the ones modeling it. You'll leave with words you can use right away, and comfortably.
Fundraising as Relationship Building: A Practical Training for Nonprofit Leaders
With Angel Charley
Fundraising is more than asking for money — it is about building trust, communicating vision, and cultivating relationships that sustain community impact over time. This session explores practical, relationship-based approaches to fundraising that nonprofit leaders can apply immediately.
Leadership and Workplace Dynamics
With Magdalena Karlick
Through a mix of interactive activities and practical discussion, participants will explore and define respect, boundaries, and responsibilities in their work environment. The session will also introduce key concepts related to stress responses, workplace dynamics, and how these show up in day to day interactions. Continuing education units (CEUs) will be provided at no cost.
