Sustainable Financial Growth

This workshop is designed to help board members, executive directors, development directors, program staff and administrative staff to develop mission-driven approaches to building  strong and sustainable revenue for your organization.  Turnaround Solutions will present an overview of approaches to securing new organizational funding and will work with staff and volunteers to secure new donors, government contracts and fee for service work. The workshop involves action planning and ongoing fundraising consulting. Participants will leave the session with a road map for developing new organizational possibilities.

Conflict Management

Workplace conflict is a normal and inevitable part of any employment setting. This workshop will provide insight into the origins of workplace conflict and will help participants look at how identity, autonomy, appreciation, status, affiliation and role can be the cause and the "cure" for workplace struggles. Skills building in the areas of listening for unmet needs, having a compassionate conversation with a co-worker and how to be a conflict competent leader will be the primary focus of this workshop. This workshop can be customized to address actual issues that arise in a particular workplace setting.

Building a Strong and Effective Board of Directors

Is your board of directors a "hands on" working board? A governance only board? Have you heard of the Carver model of board governance? How do roles get defined between the board and the executive director? How much interaction should there be between the board and staff of the organization? What role should the board have in fundraising for the organization? What is the most effective way to evaluate the performance of the executive director? How should strategic planning be addressed by the board? These are some of the areas that will be covered in this workshop. Consider having this workshop as the agenda for your first board meeting of the year.  The hands on, action planning format for this session will provide a strong foundation for a successful non-profit board of directors.

Outstanding Communication at Work

​There is no better investment in employee productivity than helping them to build effective communication skills. This workshop provides an opportunity for staff to examine the impact of office gossip, "politics", toxic venting and other hazards of poor workplace communication. Participants will learn how interest-based listening, values clarification, constructive problem-solving and understanding diverse work styles can all contribute to a stellar work environment. There will be an opportunity for participants to develop communication guiding principles so there is an agreed upon approach to clearing up misunderstandings. This workshop can be customized to address actual issues that arise in a particular workplace setting.
