Management Training for Individual Members

Managing an organisation is detailed, stressful and ever changing. There’s pressure from funders, staff, board, volunteers to make the best decision possible and there are external pressures that can influence the outcome.

Managing means work

Often you need to swap between hard and soft skills every day. It’s hard work and draining to think of all the different scenarios. There’s an expectation to piece all the parts together, and make the right decisions.

You need to make informed decisions on managing people, managing assets and constant changes in the organisation. There’s updating policies and procedures, gaining accreditation and rolling out new services or programs.

We know some ‌situations you’ve faced have kept you up all night, running through different scenarios and wondering what you’ve been missing.

Managing an organisation should be straightforward

There are loads of things to consider, and mistakes can be costly

Your team needs someone to guide them to being an effective team member and creating the team culture.

They need someone to take care of problems that inevitably come up in any business.

You should have somewhere to go for support or turn to for advice and be able to access tips and tricks from people with years of experience to help avoid those nasty surprises relevant to your role and the sector.

We've been there

Managing an organisation is complex work. Add to that the complexities of the not-for-profit sector balancing power plays, funding pressure and people’s personalities and goals with the limited resources you have and some days you probably feel like going into your special place.

But, then you realise you need to get this thing worked out so you can get back to making a difference in your community.

So, you need to know enough that you won’t make mistakes you’ll regret, but getting a consultant might be beyond your resources.
