Session 2: Where you stand
Tuesday 7 May, 10-11.30am
Session 2 will ground your Enhancing Leadership journey in knowing yourself as a human and a leader, with Liz Riversdale, Consultant & Coach at Catapult.
Leading self in social services is foundational to how we lead our organisations to deliver services within our hapori. Core to this is knowing the principles that guide and sustain us in our mahi. Like roots of a tree these support us to stay grounded through the obstacles and opportunities we face within the complexity of the social services landscape.
This workshop provides space to pause and reconnect with what guides you, share with others and discuss the realities of leading from your guiding principles.
The session will start with Liz sharing her leadership journey
Session 3: Leading through diversity
Tuesday 21 May, 10-11.30am
Session 3 of the Enhancing Leadership series, with Jonathan Mosen MNZM, CEO of The WorkBridge Group, will guide us through what we can do to build and lead diverse and inclusive teams, through a disability perspective.
This session is designed to understand why shared values of inclusivity and manaakitanga haven’t readily resulted in diversity in leadership and what we, as social sector leaders, can do to bring through a diverse leadership cohort in the social sector.
The session will touch on the following aspects of building a disabled workforce – the importance of diversity at the leadership table "nothing about us without us", barriers that exist preventing aspiring disabled leaders and practical steps we can take.
The session will start with Jonathan reflecting on his own journey to becoming a CEO and offers some advice and encouragement for aspiring disabled leaders.
Session 4: Foundations of good governance
Tuesday 4 June, 10-11.30am
Session 4 of the Enhancing Leadership series will offer an interactive opportunity, with Rose Hiha-Agnew, CE of Te Tumu Whakarae Community Governance Aotearoa, to get into the grit of how to manage real-life governance and leadership challenges.
This session will focus on; sharing our own examples of not so good governing practice and the affect it has on ourselves and our communities. This will follow with a practical session on some challenges we are facing now, and how can we future proof our not-for-profits.
Good board practice knowledge, training and experience are all important to governing roles, but often we fall short on good people dynamics and relationships that leads to poor decision making.
So how do we often get it so wrong and what impact has it played on you, and your organisation? We will explore what good looks like: an overview of the Good Governance Code and evaluation for your board.
What is the future for our not-for-profits? We will discuss collaboration and amalgamation of not-for-profits working in the community space can support sustainability within our community sectors. What can we do as sector leaders to future proof our organisations and communities?
