Leading Community Organisations 2023

LEAD is next delivering its flagship programme Leading and Managing Community Organisations from May 5 - June 30 2023. 

The course will officially launch its online learning platform on May 5. Online zoom workshops will be held fortnightly on the following dates: May 19, June 2, June 16 & June 30. (10 - noon)

The course is online so you will be able to participate from wherever you are in Aotearoa.

Because leading in a community organisation can be complex, this training will give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to lead people, projects, and stakeholders, whilst still driving results.

The course will be a mix of:

• self-directed learning (readings and learning activities you do on your own)
• peer support discussions every other week to deepen your discussions and learning on specific topics to support and grow your leadership (either online or in person, depending on where you are)
• large group virtual workshops every alternate fortnight, exploring specific leadership topics in-depth (via Zoom, fortnightly 10am to noon)
• one-on-one coaching with the facilitators
• personal written feedback from the facilitators.

LARGE GROUP WEBINARS

Once a fortnight we will come together as a whole group via Zoom. Pants are optional and snacks are BYO, but we do suggest if possible, cameras are on so we can see each other. We will cover a different topic each time we meet and we promise these are highly interactive sessions with valuable learnings.

ONE ON ONE COACHING WITH THE FACILITATORS

Opportunity is available for one on one coaching with the facilitators if required to support you on your leadership development journey. This is not a mandatory part of the programme but some of our leaders appreciate the opportunity to discuss their leadership development planning.

SCHEDULE

The programme compromises of five modules:

Facilitators:
Sandy Thompson: sandy@lead.org.nz Steve Matai’a: steve@lead.org.nz

  

Full technical support will be provided to make the learning experience as easy as possible. We will be sending you reminders and signposts the whole time the programme is running. The total learning time will be approximately 25 hours.

SELF DIRECTED LEARNING

Every week readings and learning activities will be loaded onto the learning site. You are free to do these in your own time, at your own pace. At the end of the activities you will be asked to reflect on them into private online journals that can only be viewed by the facilitators. We will give you feedback. When you finish a module you will receive a virtual badge. Collect all the badges to earn a LEAD Certificate of Completion.

SMALL GROUP DISCUSSIONS

Over the course of 10 weeks you will meet fortnightly on zoom with a small group of others on the programme. You and your group will decide when to meet, and we do recommend it is alternate to the weeks we hold the full group meetings. Others who have participated in this programme tell us this was a highlight for them and some have committed to continuing with their peer learning group beyond the programme.
