Join Judie Caribeaux and Greg Petersen, who will be leading this workshop as part of Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management’s Spring Webinar Series.
This session is an engaging workshop designed to foster stronger collaboration between nonprofit Senior Leadership Teams and Boards of Directors. The session explores the core principles of collaborative leadership, focusing on how open communication, trust-building, and shared decision-making can enhance organizational effectiveness. Participants will learn practical strategies for overcoming challenges to collaboration, identify personal leadership strengths through self-assessment, and develop action plans to integrate collaborative leadership into their organizations.
A key component of the workshop is the integration of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) into leadership practices. Collaborative leadership and DEI are deeply interconnected, both emphasizing inclusivity, respect for diverse perspectives, and fostering environments where everyone’s voice can contribute to decision-making. When aligned, these principles create an organizational culture that values equity, embraces diverse leadership styles, and drives more innovative and effective outcomes.
Through group discussions, exercises, and a commitment to applying these principles in real-world scenarios, participants will leave equipped to build stronger, more collaborative teams that prioritize both leadership and equity.
This workshop is highly interactive, focusing on participant engagement through discussions, group activities, and self-assessment exercises. Rather than a one-way presentation, it encourages participants to share their perspectives, reflect on their leadership styles, and collaborate with one another to solve real-world challenges. Activities such as action plans, skills assessments, and a Mad Lib-style team-building exercise allow participants to apply concepts in real time. Additionally, open-ended questions, group reflections, and interactive tools like Slido foster dynamic conversations, making the learning process both personal and collective.
Participants will receive a variety of resources to support their learning and continued growth. These include a detailed workbook with self-assessment tools, collaborative leadership frameworks, and action planning templates. Additionally, participants will have access to curated list of recommended readings and links to further tools and assessments through QR codes, ensuring continued learning beyond the session.
