How to “Jumpstart” Your Organizational Culture!

Workshop’s Content: This workshop will build and practice skills in articulating and changing your nonprofit’s organizational culture.  It is geared toward all organizational levels and applies to multiple areas of interest including building leadership capacity, working through changing funding streams, leading change and navigating human resource challenges.
Key Learning Objectives: By the end of the two hour session, participants will be able to:

1. Identify what’s working… and what isn’t… in your organization’s culture.
2. Implement top-grading with your workforce
3. Clarify and communicate an organizational vision
4. Create an accountable culture of learning
5. Find more ways to celebrate!

Presentation/Workshop Format: The workshop will be approximately a 50/50 split between learning the basic tenets of nonprofit culture change and practicing them through case analysis and real-time problem solving.
Presentation experience: I have presented at dozens of local, state and national venues over the past two decades on topics such as accountability and metrics, advocacy, customer service, stress and burnout, strategy and situational leadership. I presented last year at the MCCA conference on customer service and believe I received very positive evaluations.
