The Three-Layered Approach to Successful Team Action Planning
VIRTUAL TRAINING Thursday, February 24th \| 4:00pm - 6:00pm *Description:* Making a positive impact in your community takes time, drive, and passion, among so many other things. When we sit down with the Strategic Prevention Framework and move through the steps of creating an effective and efficient action plan that will make a difference, we give ourselves the space to think about every single piece of the puzzle – what makes this plan happen and work, in both the short and long term. But when we’re thinking about changing lives, educating others, updating policy and more, it goes beyond those five simple steps. This training will take a deeper dive into the many facets of action planning and what helps a team find success! We’ll look at a three-layered approach to action planning and how our strategies, mindsets and more can play into the goals we achieve. REGISTER HERE

Giving Effective Feedback
VIRTUAL TRAINING Wednesday, April 13th \| 10:30am - 12:30pm *Description:* Feedback. We’ve all given it; we’ve all received it...and we know that how we do it makes a difference in how it is received. In this small-group-based and highly interactive virtual session, participants will learn the “SBI” method of providing feedback. The “SBI” method will teach participants “Situation – Behavior – Impact” as the keys to effective and meaningful feedback. Participants will be given the fundamentals of this tool, will practice how to use the tool and get a “take-home” reminder of the SBI methodology. Participants should plan to be able to turn their cameras on, use their microphones and engage with both large and small groups! REGISTER HERE
