Transformational Supervision: Grounding in Relationships and Structures That Help Us Thrive (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, June 23, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, June 25, 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.
Centering People During Organizational Change and Transition (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, July 21, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, July 23, 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!
[BIPOC Leaders] Conflict Resolution with Power and Privilege in Mind (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, July 28, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, July 30, 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.
Distributing Power Through Collaborative Budgeting
DAY 1: Wednesday, July 29, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Wednesday, August 5, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 3: Wednesday, August 12, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
Leading conversations about money and power in our organizations can be deeply challenging and sometimes isolating. While many justice-oriented leaders advocate for collaborative processes, we are often insufficiently supported in addressing issues of power and the emotional content of money conversations that arise in cross-class, multi-racial, and mixed-generational groups.
In this new series, we will discuss ways to strengthen a culture of collective budgeting at our organizations, helping to shape a yearly practice of distributed organizational resource planning (aka “a budget”). You will gain clarity on your role in leading and stewarding the process and identify the roles other parties in the organization have to play in yearly financial planning. With the support of other participants, you will explore some of the challenges you may face along the way and identify how to evolve your process incrementally, molding the budget process over time to meet the culture and needs of your organization.
Facilitation Skills: Creating Powerful and Purposeful Meetings (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, August 4, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, August 6, 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.
Conflict Resolution Practice Pods: Building Skills for Generative Conflict
DAY 1: Wednesday, August 5, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Wednesday, August 19, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 3: Wednesday, September 2, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
Optional BIPOC-Only Session | Wednesday, September 16 (9:30am to 12:30pm Pacific Time)
This session is an optional, additional time for BIPOC participants to practice conflict resolution skills in a racial affinity space.
Conflict is inevitable and necessary, yet many of us have been taught to be afraid of it while never being taught how to address it skillfully. Even in the social change sector, where people and relationships are prioritized, we often struggle when it comes to conflict resolution between individuals and organizations. When we reframe conflict as an opportunity for powerful change, it can lead us to deepened connections with our co-workers and comrades, and clarity in vision for the world we are trying to win.
This three-part online learning series (plus 1 optional BIPOC-only session) builds on concepts from CompassPoint's Conflict Resolution with Power and Privilege in Mind workshop and offers a supportive peer learning space for strengthening conflict resilience and practicing conflict resolution skills.
Transformational Supervision: Grounding in Relationships and Structures That Help Us Thrive (2-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, August 11, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, August 13, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time

Finance Fundamentals: Understanding Key Language, Concepts, and Practices (3-Part Series)
DAY 1: Tuesday, August 18, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 2: Thursday, August 20, 2026 | 9:30am - 12:30pm Pacific Time
DAY 3: Tuesday, August 25, 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.
