Bright Morning

Times are uncertain, and from day to day, it’s not entirely clear what changes are on the horizon. Most of us are just trying to power through the moment, which won't be able to sustain us long-term. Regardless of what's uncertain, we have control over who we are, how we show up, and how we lead the adults in our organizations—to be proactive rather than reactive, to thrive rather than power through. 

In this six-session learning series, you will receive the tools, skills, and dispositions (drawing from Transformational Coaching principles) to create meeting, gathering, and learning spaces that allow you and the adults you serve to thrive beyond our current conditions. You'll apply adult learning theory to intentional meeting design and facilitation, particularly for virtual spaces. You'll learn about the role of trust and vulnerability in creating brave learning spaces—and practice what that looks like. Through reflective activities, you’ll ground yourself in ways of being that nurture community-building. You'll hone your communication skills through expansive listening, thinking, and responding techniques. And you’ll leave with skills, strategies, inspiration, and connection with others in this transformational learning community.
