Join the Staff Development Coalition to receive discounts on professional and leadership development training. To learn more or sign up for the coalition, contact Sam Hampton at SamH@501commons.org.
Staff Development Coalition members suggest topics and trainers. The coalition is working to
- Provide high quality and relevant learning opportunities for nonprofit staff
- Reinforce learning and increase transfer to the employee's job by having multiple people participate from an organization
- Promote, strengthen, and reinforce a vibrant “culture of learning”
These workshops help nonprofit staff and leaders reach professional and personal excellence through thought-provoking workshops led by national and regional trainers/experts. Learning can improve how staff members work with each other and with the communities they serve.
Typically, in-person sessions are 3-6 hours long and virtual sessions run one and a half hours. These learning sessions provide affordable staff and leadership development on topics such as staff retention, diversity and inclusion, cultivating empathy and emotional intelligence, building leadership skills, improving communication, and handling difficult conversations. Topics are suggested by the Staff Development Coalition and are designed to be especially relevant for nonprofits that serve diverse and vulnerable populations.
