MMA’s Virtual Municipal Leadership Academy is expanding its offerings to include highly interactive workshops, starting October 9.
Supervisors have traditionally been taught to expect staff to accommodate their leadership style, but this approach is no longer seen as effective, supportive, or inclusive. In this interactive VMLA workshop, Lyn Freundlich of Change for Good Coaching and Consulting will engage supervisors in activities and breakout discussions to:
• Identify their preferred supervisory style and practice tailoring their approach to meet the individual needs of staff and promote their success; and
• Learn how to recognize and respond to specific challenges individual staff members face.
Lyn Freundlich has over 30 years of experience working with mission-oriented nonprofits, focusing on justice. She founded Change for Good Coaching and Consulting in February 2021 to provide training and consulting services to nonprofit organizations and small businesses.
Change for Good’s approach to training is highly participatory, so we strongly encourage all attendees to keep their cameras on throughout the 90-minute workshop.
This workshop has a capacity limit of 30 attendees, however, a waitlist will run for overflow sessions in October and November (pending the level of interest). Waitlisted members will be given priority for future workshops. To make the VMLA more inclusive and accessible, no more than three participants will be allowed per municipality.
The registration fee for this workshop is $75. All participants must register individually. Upon registering, you will receive an automated confirmation email. This email will not contain the Zoom access information. Attendees will be sent the Zoom information once registrations are finalized on October 8.
All cancellation requests must be received via email by September 30 to receive a refund. Please note that your registration fee also provides access to the workshop recording on MMA On-Demand.
