SUMMARY:The Nonprofit Alliance: Essential Leadership Lab
DESCRIPTION:JOIN US \n\n\n\nThe TNPA Leadership Steering Committee is thrilled to launch Essential Leadership Lab as the program marks its fifth year. This initiative\, a crucial resource for nonprofit leaders\, offers virtual cohorts\, skill development\, and a robust support network. Over the course of a year\, the program includes twelve monthly virtual sessions addressing critical nonprofit sector issues. Participants have the flexibility to choose and engage in nine out of the twelve sessions aligned with their interests. \n\nJanuary 2025 | Essential Leadership Lab Reunion\nAll past\, current\, and registered-for-the-future Lab participants are INVITED and WELCOME! The Lab Reunion will be a time to learn\, network\, and celebrate the leaders of our sector. \nFebruary 2025 | Leading in a Polarized World\nOur world feels more polarized every day. As leaders\, we need to be able to navigate this reality to ensure that our teams work together respectfully\, regardless of personal opinions. We are responsible for maintaining the integrity of our missions\, for ourselves and for our many constituencies. When do we open discussions\, when do we set them aside\, and how do we guide ourselves\, our teams\, and our organizations through these polarized times? \nMarch 2025 | Women in Leadership (Not Just for Women!)\nStudies show that women often do not feel supported in the workplace. Although nonprofit staffing is more than 75% female\, fewer than half of the C-level leadership positions are held by women in nonprofits. Together\, we will explore how that lack of support manifests in our teams and organizations\, what better support and development could look like\, and what we can do it about – both as women and as allies. \nApril 2025 | HOT TOPIC\nWhat is the most perplexing\, vexing\, or critical topic you must grapple with right now? Lab participants have input and one HOT TOPIC will be selected for the focus for April. \nMay 2025 | Creating Culture in a Remote World: What have we learned?\nWe will be 5 years away from the start of the pandemic and hybrid and remote work have become the norm. This session will be a chance to step back\, assess best practices\, and consider how our colleagues have tackled some of the challenges. \nJune 2025 | Ethical Storytelling\nTelling the story of missions has evolved radically over the past few years\, impacted by the pandemic\, the rising awareness of ongoing inequities in our society\, and the role that storytelling can play in furthering our organizations’ missions and creating a more responsible world. Join us to learn the most up-to-date state of ethical storytelling\, including the ethical use of AI in generating those stories. \nJuly 2025 | Motivating a Workforce\nWe have got our eyes on the prize\, stretching to meet our goals. We expect a lot from our staff\, and we cannot do it without each of them. How can you motivate a diverse team of individuals to keep them productive\, efficient\, and committed to the work? This session will explore current shifts in workforce motivation theory\, with real-world discussion of what other organizations and agencies find effective. \nAugust 2025 | HOT TOPIC\nWhat is the most perplexing\, vexing\, or critical topic you must grapple with right now? Lab participants have input\, and one HOT TOPIC will be selected as the focus for August. \nSeptember 2025 | Navigating Change\nDo you feel like the rate of new approaches to our work has accelerated? Are you facing a shift in your personal work or in the structure of your team or organization? Change is inevitable\, but how you manage that change will determine your (and your team’s or organization’s) future success. Learn cutting-edge concepts of change management and how to guide teams through change. Work with your Lab cohort to determine how these ideas apply to your current work. \nOctober 2025 | Leadership Pipeline and the Next Generation of Leaders\nAs leaders\, it is our job to regularly step back from the day-to-day and envision our work—and our teams—in the future. Are you identifying your next generation of leaders? What can we do now to ensure there are top-notch people ready to lead our organizations five\, ten\, or even twenty years from now? \nNovember 2025 | Breaking Down Silos\nWe all know how successful a campaign can be with buy-in from more than one department. Our own team’s work can be stronger with support from other teams. In this session\, we will explore success stories of work “across silos\,” the factors that made it possible\, and the results. We will identify places in our own work that would benefit from the input or support of someone outside our department and steps to overcome the perceived barriers. \nDecember 2025 | Providing Challenging Feedback\nIt’s only human to avoid giving difficult feedback. Yet\, it is crucial to deliver that feedback to help your staff grow\, deliver\, and be the best contributors they can be. In this session\, we will consider recent research on best practices in giving feedback\, and each develop our own style for giving feedback that feels authentic – and do-able. \n\n\n
