Nonprofit Workshops (In-person or Virtual)
Effective Supervision (Bend)
October 26, 9:30 a.m. – 2 p.m. | Presenter: Cliff Jones, Capacity Building Partnerships
Employees are your organization’s greatest resource. Effective support and direction for your staff and understanding ways to work across differences will help create an environment where people can fully contribute and advance your organization’s mission and goals. Cliff Jones, Consultant Partner at Capacity Building Partnerships, offers a holistic approach to supervision. He has helped hundreds of supervisors in nonprofit settings develop skills and supervision methods that make a difference. In this workshop, we will explore the essential elements of a supervisor’s role with a diversity, equity and inclusion lens; offer insight into the specific challenges of supervision in the nonprofit environment to help you identify concrete goals and changes that you can implement with individual staff and teams; and examine strategies to address unclear expectations between staff and supervisor, ambivalence about authority, low pay, and heavy workloads.
