About the workshop

Collaborative Success Requires The Engagement And Commitment Of Partners To The Common Cause.

Increasingly, communities are using collaboration to tackle some of their most complex issues. We often dive into collaboration without truly understanding or embracing the human side of this work. This is even more challenging in a virtual environment. We focus more on the output or outcome rather than the process which is to our detriment. In managing complexity, we know that we must bring different voices and experiences to the table. How can we do this effectively when we don’t build practices which engage others and build trust?

This interactive virtual workshop is back by popular demand for one final session before Liz Weaver's retirement this Fall. The session focuses on the core leadership competency of trust-building. Collaborative success requires the engagement and commitment of partners to the common cause. A lack of trust can take collaborative efforts off track, but little attention is paid to actions that build trust, create connections and deal with mistrust. Participants in the workshop will walk away with ideas, tools and approaches to effectively engage diverse community partners and intentionally build trusting relationships and collaborative impact. Come prepared to share your experiences and insights on how to build trust.
