About the Course

Organizational change is not easy. Oftentimes it has challenges and is incumbent on strategic, thoughtful leadership. How you navigate change and support others to move through it is critical.

This unique learning environment is intentionally designed to respond to your experience and help non-profit, community-based, and social purpose leaders, managers, and organizations navigate challenges, change, and opportunity successfully. You’ll gain tools to help strengthen your teams and encourage problem solving and creativity, so that you can collectively navigate and respond to innovation and current work priorities.

For whom: For those supporting employees through change or overseeing organizational change and looking to build a proactive response and plan through the transition.

Prerequisite: Due to the applied nature of this course you will be required to commit to approximately 1 hour of self reflection in advance of the first module and approximately 2 hours of self-reflection in advance of the second module.

*Spots are limited to 20 participants per cohort. If you are interested in hosting this program in person for your organization, or a group of organizations, please contact

This was the most effective professional development experience I’ve had as a nonprofit leader. The workshop made me feel less alone in my change management frustrations and gave me just the boost of confidence and planning I needed to face change head on. The tangible nature of the course ensured I could almost immediately put what I was learning into practice in my work life.
