Transformational Supervision: Grounding in Relationships and Structures That Help Us Thrive (2-Part Series)

DAY 1: Tuesday, April 21, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, April 23, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

When you think of supervision, what comes to mind? What feelings does it evoke?

Many of us have been conditioned to think that a “successful” supervisor must exercise dominant power -- control, manipulation, or coercion -- over others. We believe that our primary functions as supervisors are to manage tasks, enforce rules, manage one’s behavior, and/or exert authority.

Transformational Supervision offers another way.  It’s an invitation to see supervision as a system and relational process that supports growth and mutual thriving for the organization and all of its employees.


Facilitation Skills: Creating Powerful and Purposeful Meetings (2-Part Series)

DAY 1: Tuesday, May 5th, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, May 7th, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

Meetings! We’ve all experienced what it’s like when they go wrong: conversations that go nowhere and leave people feeling frustrated. Additionally, our approach to planning meetings doesn't always take into consideration how race, gender, power and privilege show up in our teams--and so these spaces often replicate the very types of power dynamics we should be trying to dismantle in the world around us.

This online workshop is a space to learn effective meeting habits, develop skills to plan a meeting, explore how to wield power to unlock everyone’s gifts and contributions, get the right voices in the room, and guide conversations toward meaningful goals.


Centering People During Organizational Change and Transition (2-Part Series)

DAY 1: Tuesday, June 2, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 4, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

Do you feel it, too? The world is calling us to adapt over and over again in deep ways to face a wide variety of challenges. How do we navigate these transitions while honoring folks' humanity? In a time of significant change in our world and our organizations, it’s more important than ever to gain skills and perspectives about how to lead people through transition.

When you are leading a team or an organization through a difficult change – when leadership is especially important – you will inevitably challenge what people hold dear: their daily habits, their loyalties, and their ways of thinking. This training is for social change and nonprofit leaders who lead teams and drive and influence change in their organizations.  Even if you don’t hold formal positional leadership at your organization, you are welcome to join!


Conflict Resolution with Power and Privilege in Mind for BIPOC Leaders (2-Part Series)

DAY 1: Tuesday, June 9, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 11, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

Interpersonal conflict isn’t a matter of “if”, it’s a matter of “when”. Many of us are taught to avoid conflict, forgetting that on the other side of tension we can often find transformation.

When we get into conflict with each other (at our organizations or in movement spaces), we often do so without taking time and space beforehand to slow down and explore our own relationship to conflict—namely, what drives our reactions and how our approach to conflict relates to power and privilege. This is a space to learn how to shift power dynamics by employing communication skills like listening, inquiry, and empathy.

This is a space for participants who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color.


Facilitation Skills for BIPOC Leaders: Creating Powerful and Purposeful Meetings (2-Part Series)

DAY 1: Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

Finance Fundamentals: Understanding Key Language, Concepts, and Practices (3-Part Series)

DAY 1: Tuesday, June 16, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 18, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 3: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

Financial knowledge and practices aren’t just technical—they can be transformational and build power, too. But in order to shift our systems and approaches to money to better reflect social justice values, we need to grow access and understanding about finance across our teams.

This three-session training is an opportunity to understand core language and skills about nonprofit finance in an expressly political context where we critically examine how capitalism, patriarchy, and white supremacy shape nonprofit financial reporting and systems.
