DATE: Tuesday August 24, 2021
TIME: 6:00 PM - 8:00 PM CST
LOCATION: Zoom
CEU’s: 2
PROGRAM:
An interactive panel discussion focused on the impact and need for coaching in non-profit organizations. Coaching services for the non-profit professional remain scarce. When and if a non-profit organization receives an increase in donations or other external funding, such resources usually go directly to programs for their often, underestimated clients.
While appreciating the benefits of staff development and employee self-care, non-profits often cannot afford the additional resources it takes to offer training internally to their employees and volunteers. The non-profit space is experiencing an awaking to the power of coaching. Through partnerships and expansion within grants, offering hybrid solutions, can be the key to unlocking coaching in a powerful way to make a difference.
