Supervisors and Leadership Training, Portland

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.

The goal of these workshops is to give each participant training and practical experience with skills and techniques tailored to her/his own work as a supervisor of staff. Each participant will be interviewed prior to the training, so that the training content will reflect the dilemmas and issues that organizations and their staff leaders are experiencing. Participants will have the opportunity to share ideas and experiences. The training also includes a one-hour follow-up consultation with an Enlace staff trainer.

The cost of the training is $375 for non-affiliates of Enlace and $300 for Enlace affiliates. Lunch and materials will be provided.  Each day the training will start 9am and end 5pm.  Location TBA.
