Clay County Board Chair & CEO Retreat – Virtual

The Board Chair and Executive relationship is the cornerstone of a strong leadership team. The Nonprofit Center created this virtual opportunity for CEOs and Board Chairs based on years of experience and feedback from leaders. By keeping the numbers low (limited to 10 organizational teams), we can provide an intensive series of learning, planning, and sharing exercises targeting the most important areas for leadership impact.

Co-Facilitated by Nonprofit Center CEO Rena Coughlin and BoardSource Senior Governance Consultant Jim Schwarz, the day provides time for lecture, break out discussions, group interactions, and individual team planning. This investment can yield a more effective, collaborative and trusting relationship between the leaders, improving the impact on their organizations.

With special guest instruction from Laura Steigelman of Florida Training Solutions, new for this virtual retreat, each participant will receive access to Everything DiSC Catalyst, a personal development learning experience that is designed to engage everyone in building more effective relationships at work. Catalyst is the most up-to-date on-demand learning platform for DiSC where you can compare DiSC styles with your colleague and have resources and training modules to access at your convenience. Participants will:

• Discover their DiSC style
• Deepen understanding of self and others
• Learn how to build better relationships with others
• Access real-time tips for more effective interactions with their colleagues
• Build the foundation for future social and emotional skills training
