February 13-15, 2018 - Minnesota Humanities Center - St. Paul, MN
An invitation to explore and practice
This is a 3-day training designed for learning simple yet powerful practices that enable authentic engagement that builds community, activates shared intelligence, and motivates leadership for change. Today, in fields like human services, where technical solutions are often the default, we must become better at inviting more people to co-create effective services. Now, the need to build individual and organizational capacity to navigate the complexity of our world with authenticity is even more critical. Join us and you will leave feeling empowered and ready to…
- Build stronger teams and partnerships. Broaden the skill set within your group, work more effectively and enjoyably together, engage teams, organizations, and community stakeholders in meaningful conversations that promote resilience, belonging, innovation, and collective impact.
- Enhance skills and abilities to work with complexity, uncertainty and change. Develop leadership confidence for facing challenges that do not have solutions, learn practices to engage skillfully with fear, conflict and stuck patterns, use wise process planning architectures for small and large scale initiatives, and host strategic conversations.
- Apply what you are learning directly to the change initiatives that are important to you, your community or organization.
