Join Enlace in Portland, Oregon, June 24-26, 2008, for an intensive three-day supervision and leadership workshop geared to help progressive non-profit organizations and unions by developing the capacity to continually improve the skills of staff supervisors.

“I use the tools I learned in the Enlace training to think together with the people I supervise; so I now don’t feel the need to think for them – or think with others and then bring it to them. Using Enlace tools, I also look to the underlying motivations for staff doing the work, which–surprise!–helps in developing realistic strategies and work plans that actually get carried out.” – Lorene Scheer, Field Coordinator, SEIU Local 503

The curriculum includes: how to hold a successful one-on-one meeting, how to provide corrective feedback, how to facilitate an effective team meeting, and how to manage conflict in your organization. Learning to use these processes will help both new and experienced supervisors become better at motivating staff, improving staff capabilities, ensuring accountability, avoiding unpleasant surprises, and keeping the team focused on its objectives.

Join Enlace in Los Angeles, July 14-15, 2008, for our Team Leaders Series Training(formerly Part II of our Supervisors and Leadership Workshop Series) geared to help progressive non-profit organizations and unions by developing the capacity to continually improve the skills of member leaders, staff supervisors, and organizers.

The curriculum will include: how to facilitate a proactive planning process and how to effectively evaluate an event, action, or program in order to better prepare for the next stage of your work.

“I highly recommend the Enlace Training “Planning and Evaluation of Programs.” This training helps you identify where the struggle is in your work plan and then it helps you figure out what (your goal, your approach, your calendar) needs to change to make your plan healthy, workable, and in service to your mission. The instructors are excellent at tailoring their process for different types of organizations and people. I keep returning to the ideas I developed in this training as I make decisions about where to put resources.” --Anne Pernick, Coordinator of the Business Ethics Network (BEN)

Our trainings are designed for people working in organizations striving for labor and social justice.

There are several types of trainings that we offer:

Series for Supervisors - strengthen leadership capabilities for supervisors and help them to assume the responsibility of this role

Series for Coaches - build leaders within the organization that bring key elements of training back to organization to improve strategic planning skills

Individualized Series - improve internal capability of an organization through a series of individualized trainings and evaluations
