SUMMARY:Board Development: Bored to Brilliant – Better Meetings
DESCRIPTION:According to a recent Avast survey\, the US professional spends an average of 61 hours per month in meetings and considers more than 50% of them to have been a waste of time (that’s 15 wasted days per year.) There are a number of simple and easily implemented tactics your organization can employ so that your board will consider yours among the BEST meetings they participate in.\nIn this workshop we will examine the conditions that work against effective board meetings. We will provide practical tools that you and your colleagues can put to use immediately. We will help you get you from “having a quorum” to hosting dynamic and effective meetings.\nThis workshop is designed for organizational senior leadership and those responsible for the coordination of meetings and events \n$150 – 1 person $100 – 2 people* With 2 people attending\, it breaks down to $50 per person. $75 – 3-5 people* (must include one board member) With 5 people attending\, that breaks down to just $15 per person! *Additional individuals must be from the same organization! We recommend executive leadership\, development and program staff and board members attend. YES\, you read that right. Three to five people from your organization would only cost your agency $75 to attend a half day workshop!!!

SUMMARY:Fighting For A Slice Of The Pie: Business Workshop Series
DESCRIPTION:How does mindset affect how we see opportunity? \n9 to Thrive provides group and individual training to help organizations increase happiness through innovative tools and frameworks. \nDo you need to attract investors\, clients\, or other engagement to your business? Is there just not enough—money\, interest\, people? Right now you’re wasting time and missing opportunities you don’t even know were there\, and it’s not your fault. Our brains have hidden biases that work against us. And worse\, our negativity is contagious. \nBut this doesn’t have to be the case. We can learn to recognize how we’re undermining ourselves and our organizations. There are tools\, frameworks\, and resources we can use to spot red flags\, and respond to them\, making our businesses stronger and more attractive. This workshop will include hacks\, skills\, and resources to start improving immediately. \nThe state of the workforce is dire. The most recent Gallup poll on working life found that 77% of workers are unengaged and 16% are completely miserable. More than half are actively looking for another job\, and it’s the truth that employees quit because of management\, not because of the work. Most managers have no leadership training. Retaining and attracting talented employees is a competitive edge. Creating a high-quality company culture from the top-down is the secret to a sustainable\, purposeful workforce. \nJanet McKenna Lowry has been an adult educator for twenty years. She has worked with several hundred schools\, circuses\, and theaters\, and has a masters degree from Trinity College Dublin\, concentrating on business leadership. Her company\, 9 to Thrive\, is dedicated to creating a world where the workplace doesn’t suck.
