CERTIFICATE IN LEADERSHIP COHORT

Welcome to the Certificate in Leadership, Cohort members! This program is designed to support you in your development as current and emerging nonprofit leaders. Through peer-based learning groups and group coaching calls, the program will prepare you to effectively lead and manage in our dynamically changing sector while strengthening your organizations and our community.

The Certificate in Leadership consists of the following:

  • Five half-day virtual training sessions facilitated by expert practitioners at the Nonprofit Leadership Center
  • Four, one-hour virtual group coaching sessions in between half-day training sessions (optional, but highly recommended)
  • A 30-minute, one-on-one virtual coaching session with NLC’s Director of Strategic Programs, Charlie Imbergamo or NLC’s Program Director, Meriel Martínez (can be scheduled during the course of the program or within two months of its conclusion)

Participants are required to attend all half-day training sessions held in the NLC virtual training space so as to build cohesion within the cohort, and to receive a Certificate upon completion of the program. The process is collaborative, and participants will receive support from each other as well as the facilitators and NLC.

Training Session Details

Session 1: The Emotionally Intelligent Leader

March 23, 2023
Facilitated by Dr. John Loblack
Studies show that effective leadership is closely tied to emotional intelligence. Using a variety of highly engaging learning strategies, this session will help leaders internalize the five competencies of emotional intelligence (self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, relationship management and motivation), identify the link between emotional intelligence and effective leadership, expand their communication skills, and learn how to apply emotional intelligence at work and in the world.

Session 2: The Conscious Leader

April 6, 2023
Facilitated by Ellen Nastir
Self-awareness and self-care are critical components of effective leadership. When you know your strengths and weaknesses, you can build upon them to maximize your effectiveness — at work and in life. Using the PeopleMap™ assessment, this session will empower leaders to focus on their Achilles’ heels — their areas for potential growth. Leaders will build an awareness of how different communication styles may unknowingly impact or trigger others, increase their understanding of others with intention, cultivate their leadership presence, and learn to identify team toxins and their antidotes. The strategies and exercises in this session will help prepare leaders to lead effectively.

Session 3: The Data-Driven Leader

April 20, 2023
Facilitated by Rebecca Watson
An organization’s success is largely influenced by the decisions of its leaders. Effective leaders make data-driven decisions that advance their organization’s mission and vision. This session will explore proven principles, practices and systems, including Data-Driven Decision Making (3DM), to help leaders listen to their data, make effective decisions and drive high-impact organizational performance. Leaders will learn how to apply 3DM principles in critical areas, including program evaluation, strategic planning and performance reviews, as well as how to develop a data-driven culture at work.

Session 4: The Connected Leader

May 4, 2023
Facilitated by Margarita Sarmiento
Recent demographic changes in our society have resulted in a workplace with rich racial, cultural and generational differences. Effective leaders must understand these differences and how to harness them to cultivate an effective team and organization. This session will help leaders increase their knowledge of changing demographics and the language of diversity, understand how preconceptions affect behavior, develop strategies for creating teams that are strengthened by their differences, and learn a proven strategy for addressing conflict and working through disagreements. Additionally, they will identify ways to build and maintain trusting relationships with, and between, team members.

Session 5: Leadership — A Facilitated Conversation

May 18, 2023
The final session of the Certificate in Leadership program invites leaders from across the community to participate in a facilitated conversation with Certificate participants, allowing participants the opportunity to hear different leadership perspectives, ask questions, further develop their knowledge and skills gained during the certificate program, and share next steps on their leadership journey. The session culminates in the awarding of the Certificate in Leadership.
