Early childhood programs are experiencing staffing issues like no other time in our field’s history. Directors may feel they have little to no control over key factors that contribute to the staffing crisis – staff wages, benefits, classroom support. What can they do? Program culture is one factor well within their control that plays a vital role in whether staff want to stay and if they thrive in their program. This virtual session will explore elements of workplace culture, the importance of a healthy workplace culture and what it looks like, and explore the five keys to building a healthy workplace culture (communicating purpose and values, providing meaningful work, focusing leadership on people, building meaningful relationships, and practicing constructive conflict management) with strategies to help support early childhood programs.

“Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.”-Sheryl Sandberg. How does great leadership really make people better? Ownership and sustainability of quality early childhood practices is an essential focus and outcome now more than ever. In this two-hour virtual training, we will briefly review the 2023 Spring Biannual training’s practice of the Leader-Leader model by David Marquet and dive deeper into exploring how to inspire and unlock leadership potential at all levels through the model’s three key pillars: Control, Competence, and Clarity. Participants are welcomed to be intentionally curious to question and discuss common challenges of building capacity in early childhood program staff and discover concrete strategies for implementation of the model within participants’ roles through shared content, reflection and activities.

While we know that leading from a trust and Inspire paradigm is needed for bringing out the best in ourselves, our teams & organizations, and others we support, how do we actually do this within our day-to-day work? In this deeper dive of Shifting the Paradigm, participants will explore fundamental beliefs for building their own capacity, examine three stewardships that are paramount to being a Trust and Inspire leader, and identify practices for embedding them within their role. Participants will also consider common barriers when making this monumental shift and strategies for addressing these challenges.

Tuesday, November 14, 2023 from 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM EST

Title: How to Have a Difficult Conversation

This interactive workshop develops skills and introduces practical processes that can be used during a difficult conversation. People are often reluctant to discuss difficult topics for fear of the consequences. Learn how to get to core issues within a conflict and find a resolution. Participants will explore the five styles of conflict management and enhance problem-solving skills. Attendees will practice effective questioning and explore the importance of open-ended questions. As a group, participants will discuss and illustrate how people “get stuck” in a position that is just at the surface, like the tip of the iceberg.
