SUMMARY:Measuring Impact: Evaluation for Scale and Sustainability
DESCRIPTION:Evaluation is the key to successfully scaling and sustaining the impact of nonprofits. When we don’t know IF our program works or WHY it works\, we may struggle to justify continued funding. We may also risk losing community engagement\, and we may disengage from the core mission that drives our work. In this session\, we will explore what and how to evaluate programs to ensure the future of your organization through scale and sustainability. Participants will leave with specific tools to implement and a stronger theoretical understanding of the nature of evaluation. \nObjectives: \n\nUnderstand the components of effective program development — planning\, executing\, and evaluating programs.\nIdentify resources available to support consistent professional development in program development skills.\n\nWho should attend: Nonprofit Management Program participants\, executives and management staff who have program development responsibilities\, and entry-level staff interested in progressing their career to include these responsibilities. \nREGISTER HERE

SUMMARY:Results-Oriented Communication that Works
DESCRIPTION:This interactive class provides turnkey frameworks and methods for communicating and interacting as a leader in ways that enable clarity\, performance\, and engagement. Leaders turn plans into reality by effectively knowing how to convey what they need from others in empowering ways that get everyone onto the team and into aligned action. Different situations call for different forms of interaction – is the objective of the conversation relationship\, alignment\, agreement\, problem-solving\, or binding action? We also examine the pros and cons of different communication mediums in leadership interactions (as opposed to administrative ones): explosive emails or convincing conversations. Size up your stakeholder\, the situation\, and the self-interests- then select the right approach. You will move to results quickly with a minimum of misunderstandings. What leader doesn’t want a lot more of that? \nObjectives: \n\nLearn to effectively assess what any given communication moment requires in order to select the most effective method to reach alignment and action with others.\nAcquire practical tools and methods that can be used impactfully and reliably to engage others across a variety of common scenarios that leaders find themselves in.\nEngage in peer practice and learning to build skills and also share support and encouragement as we find ways to take on the many tricky moments that leaders are faced with together\n\nWho should attend: Nonprofit Management Program participants\, first-time managers and coordinators\, individuals moving from individual performer/subject matter expert roles to group leader roles\, and experienced leaders looking for a fresh perspective to tune up their personal toolset. \nRegistration Closed
