Our Program

Join your friends and colleagues for purposeful discussion topics designed to get you thinking. A you-pick-two format, be prepared to choose from:

1. Getting Unstuck: Start with the Heart Strategies for acknowledging your contribution to critical conversations and how to better them. (Leslee Gensinger, VCU Learning, Development, and Organizational Culture)
2. Be a Boss! Advocate for ourselves, our staff, and others to make a more equitable workplace. (Lindsay Robinson, Northstar Academy)
3. Find your Spirit Hero: A Mindfulness Exercise for Fundraisers This brief exercise will help develop emotionally intelligent fundraisers. (Dr. Chad Krouse, VCU University Development)
4. How to Find Balance, Beat Burnout and Live Happier Identifying practical strategies that don't require a new schedule, new job or new life. (Erin Correa, Correa & Associates)

Each moderator will lead a 30 minute discussion twice, so participants can attend two topics.
