DESCRIPTION:This series is offered by TechImpact.\n\nTuesdays\, November 1st\, 8th\, and 15th\, 2:00 PM – 3:00 PM ET\nRegistration Fee: $150 \nREGISTER NOW\nAre you the person everyone at your small nonprofit looks to when the printer won’t work or the Wi-Fi is down? \nAre you the one with admin privileges for all your software? Do you have to carry out basic IT tasks such as run backups and install anti-virus software? Is IT only a small fraction of your job (but always threatening to take over)? \nLet Tech Impact help you through the big IT issues many small nonprofits face. Our three-session course will provide you with the knowledge you need to support your nonprofit. \nBy completing this course\, you will: \n\nFamiliarize yourself with the basics of your organization’s infrastructure.\nLearn the fundamentals of networking and backing up shared files.\nDiscover best practices that will make you a more effective software administrator.\nExplore new software options.\nReview security risks and safety principles.\nDiscuss technology planning and how to help everyone at your organization get what they need from their technology resources.\nLearn how to keep your IT responsibilities from taking over your job.\n\nSession 1: Hardware Infrastructure Basics \nComputers\, printers\, phones\, routers—there are a lot of gadgets that can turn glitchy. This session will cover the basics you need to know about the various pieces of hardware in a typical office and review common troubleshooting techniques to keep them up and running. We’ll also look at what you need to know to network computers\, keep them connected\, and reliably back up files. \nSession 2: Managing Software and Security \nHow do you decide what software to choose when there are hundreds of options\, each with their own unique features? And once you’ve chosen a software package\, how do you manage it so that your organization gets what it needs and is protected from security threats? We’ll answer these questions and more by reviewing frameworks to choose and administer your organization’s software. \nSession 3: The Human Side of Technology \nIT isn’t just IT. A big part of the job is working directly with people—both to fix small problems and undertake long-term planning. We’ll help you develop strategies for leading large-scale technology projects and pass on tips from our own in-house IT expert on the best ways to work one-on-one with your colleagues. \nAbout Our Instructor \n\nMelanie Meyer\nDirector of Nonprofit Technology Solutions\, Tech Impact\n\nMelanie works directly with nonprofits to help elevate technology use to further their mission.

That’s the question you’ll explore with Maryn Boess in this down-to-earth\, myth-busting session. \nIn this webinar\, you will: \n\nlearn and practice how to take a “total value” approach to budget-building\, so you can clearly and compellingly show the value of everything it takes to do your work successfully;\nlearn why you should (almost) never plan your proposal budget using the form the grantmaker gives you\, and what you can use instead;\nwork with a real-life scenario to go through each of the six major budget categories\, looking at the key issues and challenges you can expect to run into in each one;\nhave the chance to whip out your calculator and try your own hand at thinking through some of the situations in a real-life scenario;\nget a behind-the-scenes view of how grantmakers evaluate your proposal budget and what your budget tells them about your organization;\nclear away the confusion around the value of volunteer time\, accounting for “match\,” handling administrative/indirect costs\, and other perennially perplexing budget issues; and\,\nbe introduced to a powerful planning tool to help you craft a budget that is comprehensive\, realistic\, and bullet-proof—and that will work for you\, your organization\, and your grantmaking partners.\n\nMost importantly\, you’ll walk away understanding how to break the “starvation cycle” that plagues many nonprofit organizations so you no longer understate the cost and value of your mission-critical work. \nThis webinar is perfect for any project or leadership team member who wants to transform a budget into a rock-solid resource plan that will support your project’s successful implementation. \n\n\nDate\nTuesday\, November 15\, 2022 – 2 PM EST\n\n\nDuration\n90 Minutes\n\n\nQuestions?

SUMMARY:Practical Leadership 1.0: Cultivating Thriving Supervisory Relationships
DESCRIPTION:This session is offered by Minnesota Council of Nonprofits.\n\nTuesday\, November 29th & 30th; December 1st\, 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM ET\n\nRegistration Fees: $129 for Members\, $169 for Nonmembers.  Please log into the Member Portal to find the member discount code\, or email hilaria@dev.wvnpa.org. \nREGISTER NOW\nEffectively carrying out a supervisor role is more “art” than science. Often\, managers are left on their own to try and figure out how to implement their supervisor duties. Unskilled supervision can create organizational cultures that are ineffective at best\, and “toxic” at worst. When supervisors understand the expectations of their role\, they are able to supervise in a way that fosters healthy working relationships with each employee that reports to them. This\, in turn\, creates thriving\, inclusive organizational cultures. \nThis highly interactive virtual training provides participants with immediately implementable tools and strategies. \nThis workshop is one of MCN’s most popular trainings and consistently receives high evaluations. You will receive with tools and ideas that you can immediately implement. \nThis is a six-hour virtual training spread over three two-hour sessions\, November 29\, 30\, and December 1\, 2022 from 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. Central each day. \nTopics\n•    Cultivating self-awareness and emotional intelligence\n•    Understanding privilege and power in your supervisor role\n•    Holding difficult conversations\n•    Six essential skills of supervision\n•    Coach approach to supervision \nLearning Objectives\n•    Better understand the competencies of the supervisor role and have improved confidence in implementing the role\n•    Cultivate self-awareness and accountability for avoiding toxic behaviors in the work place\n•    Increase comfort at holding a range of conversations\, including developmental feedback\n•    Learn strategies for helping employees solve their own challenges\n•    Build awareness of when to use coaching in the supervisor role\n•    Receive an introduction to the fundamental components of coaching – listening and inquiry \nNote: We also strongly recommend you take Practical Leadership 2.0: Supervising for Team Engagement.
