HUE NEWS
January/February 2021
|
|
At the end of 2020, a group of HueLife clients, partners, and friends came together to reflect and celebrate our community. During that time, we created a vision for what our HUE News headlines would be in 2021.
As we continue to navigate challenges that life throws our way, we are also happy to report that we are well on our way to making our headlines!
In this issue of HUE News, you'll find:
-
Govapalooza - Our first virtual conference happening NEXT WEEK!
-
NEW and upcoming virtual courses
-
HUE Journeys - Cohort programs offered by HueLife to master your leadership, facilitation and engagement skills, while building a network of likeminded huemans to journey with you.
We look forward to seeing you in the virtual space or in person (cross your fingers) soon!

HUE JOURNEYS
Learn the what, the how, and what's next

Learn the “what” and the “how” through a series of learning intensives over a period of a year with opportunities to practice, share, and gain feedback.
You won’t ever be on a HUE Journey alone – you will have the HueLife team there to support and mentor you and you will also create a learning community that will last well past the completion of your HUE Journey.

SMARTIE GOALS
Setting goals in an inclusive and equitable way
|
|
As we continue to engage in work to interrupt systemic injustice and inequities, we must push ourselves to think about the impact our choices and the development of our organizational goals have on the historically marginalized. As written by The Management Center, "Adding an equity and inclusion component (that’s the IE part!) to your SMART goals is like putting avocado on a sandwich—come for the health benefits, stay for the life-changing impact (and don’t ever go without it again)!"
So, what is a SMART goal and how can one become an effective SMARTIE goal?
-
Strategic – It reflects an important dimension of what your organization seeks to accomplish and is specific too.
-
Measurable – It includes numbers or defined qualities by which people can agree on whether the goal has been met.
-
Ambitious – It’s challenging enough that achievement would mean significant progress.
-
Realistic – The resources are there or can be obtained and it is possible to track and worth the time and energy to do so.
-
Time-bound – A clear date and timeline is set.
-
Inclusive – It brings traditionally marginalized people into processes, activities, and decision/policy-making in a way that shares power.
-
Equitable – It includes an element of fairness or justice that seeks to address systemic injustice, inequity, or oppression.

HueLife is offering a FREE half-day Action Planning Session for 7 nonprofit organizations, civic groups, community partners and/or informal groups who are seeking facilitation support to advance their mission through participatory and inclusive processes.
Different from strategic planning, the Action Planning Process is a foundational Technology of Participation (ToP) method which enables you to help a group rapidly pull together an effective plan, organize needed resources and mobilize individuals’ energy into action. A group will:
- Visualize a successful result
- Analyze their current reality
- Create a practical plan including a timeline of actions
- Maximize a group’s commitment and involvement
Help us spread the word to organizations you know or are a part of!

ToP Facilitation Methods and ToP Strategic Planning are eligible for 14 CEHs from the following boards: BOSA, PMI, APA, AICP, CHES-MCHES, NAICS
CEUs are also offered from Normandale Community College for any ToP course offered at their university.
