The Art of Active Listening - It's a Skill We All Need! Part 2 w/Lacy Alana (a companion to our Difficult Conversations Series)The Art of Active Listening – It’s a Skill We All Need! Join Lacy Alana for this two-part series on the Art of Active Listening (a companion series to our Difficult Conversations series). Listening with true presence isn't always as easy as it sounds. If you've ever caught yourself planning your next response while someone is still talking - you're in good company! In this series, we'll explore ways that you can listen deeply to *understand* - not just respond. In our fast-paced world, a lack of deep listening is often the unidentified problem that keeps us solving the wrong problems, miscommunicating, or not having as much success as we want. In this series, we'll combat these challenges! Great for leaders, teams, fundraisers and the rest of us!A part of our communications programming.

Creating a Culture of Self-Care that At Your Organization - Part 1We all agree that self-care is important, especially when daily life is stressful. And yet, transitioning from agreement that self-care is important to *actually* creating a culture of self-care is incredibly challenging in most organizations. In turn, this creates a significant burnout risk. This mini-series focuses on how to imbed a culture of self-care into your organization. We'll explore subtle, indirect, and common practices that undermine a culture of self-care - and what you can do about them. We'll identify strengths and weaknesses personally and within our organizations so that you walk away with a stronger sense of how to ensure that you - and the people you work with - can maintain balance.This workshop is interactive and experiential, so you'll get a chance to engage in hands activities during the workshop, in addition to walking away with new knowledge.
