Keynote: Why are we so on edge?

Working at the edge can be a positive and a negative thing. As organisations with missions to make the world a better place we need to be pushing envelopes. But as the world changes around us it can cause us to get into unknown territory that challenges our skills our models and our world view. How can we do this and stay effective and sane!  Shaun Robinson, Executive Director, NZ Aids Foundation

Workshops Session 3

Please choose one of the following four:

1. Creating a conscious board – A conscious Non Profit board is one where individuals on the board have chosen to be aware and conscious, where they truly understand the role of the board and their role as board members, where they are continually looking at what else is possible in skills and knowledge, personal awareness and conscious leadership, and where they embrace self-evaluation and board performance evaluation. Steven Bowman, Conscious Governance, Australia
   
2. Managing stakeholder interests. NGOs have a wide range of stakeholders – groups and individuals who have an interest in and influence over the work of the organisation. Many of these stakeholders are very passionate about their views and interests in what the NGO does. All too often the response to these stakeholders turns into fire-fighting rather than a considered approach to gaining value from stakeholder relationships. This workshop will provide a useful tool to help managers and leaders identify and prioritise the interests of stakeholders in order to develop a planned response for gaining value from these relationships. Simon Martin, Lecturer, Auckland University of Technology
3. An Investment in You: Creating Meaningful Goals and Development Plans
   Is your development plan helping you achieve what you want, or is it a piece of paper gathering dust? Development plans are most valuable when we have a set of personally relevant goals that we can achieve by using our strengths. This workshop will provide you with useful tools and tips for creating meaningful goals, and development plans to achieve them. You will use a model to take a holistic view of life and work to set your own goals and uncover what work / life choices mean for you. The practical tools covered in this workshop can be applied in the workplace to engage employees in development planning.  Lillian Richmond, Unlimited Talent
4. Leaders as coaches – This practical workshop will help you lead your people and your organisation to greater success by coaching not telling. It will explore the coaching mindset, provide you with simple yet high impact  tools and skills for coaching conversations and look at how coaching can support teams and individuals – including leaders – to sustain themselves over the long haul. You get to walk away with 2 handy tools to use immediately in a wide range of leadership conversations. Aly McNicoll, The NZ Coaching and Mentoring Centre
