FREE Leadership Training for Community Groups

Lindsay Upton from Manukau East Council of Social Services (MECOSS)

Here’s an opportunity for all community groups.
Building on last year’s leadership workshops presented by L E A D – the Centre for Not For Profit Governance and Leadership; FREE lunchtime interactive online training sessions are being offered to leaders who aspire to delve deeper.
This training has two parts:
Part 1 : 4 Interactive Sessions
1. Leading Virtually
The last few months has taught us we can do a lot online. This workshop will explore how to build a
team when teams aren’t always in the room together and how to facilitate quality relationship
focussed meetings on-line.
2. Managing Volunteers
Volunteers are not just free labour. They create the spirit of our organisations. This workshop will
look at tools and models to make volunteering a positive experience for both the volunteers and
your organisation.
3. Planned Outcomes – Measuring the work we do
How do we actually know we are making a difference? This important for not only us to know but
our funders and other stakeholders too. Simple tools will be presented in this workshop that can do
this in a straightforward way.
4. Fundraising Strategy
Getting beyond day to day survival requires a big picture approach. By the end of this workshop you
will have a draft framework for moving your organisation towards sustainability.
Part 2: Facilitated leadership collaboration group meetings and peer mentoring training
To enable support and collaboration and building a self-sustaining community sector.
