This webinar series will take place Thursdays, Jan. 31 - Feb. 14 from 2-3 p.m. CT.
NDANO is pleased to partner with Washington Nonprofits to offer you this three-part webinar series.
As a non-profit, you are often figuring out how to do so much with so little. One of the best resources you have are your staff and board. How do you ensure that you are getting the most out of your constituency, and ensuring that they feel included and engaged? In this workshop, Andrew McMasters, founding artistic director of Jet City Improv, leads participants through using the lessons of 'yes and' (accepting and building on offers) to build inclusion, drive engagement, and create a personal connection with your organization and its mission. You will learn how to use different styles of listening to build relationships with donors and staff, as well as the quick and easy methods for telling effective and memorable stories to drive personal engagement.
Who Should Attend
These skills build individual styles of leadership and management, and can be adapted for all areas of work including volunteer management, donor management, staff, board, members and audiences.
Learning Outcomes
• Using 'Yes, and...' to build inclusion in your organization

All sessions will be recorded and the recording will be available to all registered participants. Participants who are unable to attend one or more of the sessions will still have access to all course materials.
