You will\, as well. \nWhy This Matters\nFacilitative Leadership™ for Social Change develops practical collaborative skills and tools for tapping our individual and collective creativity and experience as social change agents. At the heart of the workshop are powerful leadership practices that make it easy for all of us — regardless of race\, class\, gender\, ability\, sexuality\, and other identities and experiences — to offer our perspectives and talents\, speak up when we have problems\, take initiative\, make decisions\, work with others\, and share responsibility for the health of the team\, organization\, or network. \nWhat You’ll Learn\nFacilitative Leaders model key practices that make it easier for principled\, self-empowered collaborators to communicate\, decide\, and act together. The following list of these practices represents what you will learn in our standard seven-session online workshop or our two-day in-person workshops to engage your own and your collaborators’ skills\, wisdom\, and energy towards your shared goals. \n\nIntroduction to Facilitative Leadership™ & Building Liberatory Power Equitably: Learn tools to create power-with\, not power-over\, focused on liberation and justice.\nFocus on Results\, Process\, Relationships: Balance outcomes\, continuous improvement\, and healthy connections to sustain collaboration.\nDiscover Shared Meaning: Use communication to deepen understanding and improve decision-making and collective action.\nSee Systems: Navigate complexity by recognizing the connections between visible and hidden layers of systems.\nSeek Maximum Appropriate Involvement: Make intentional\, inclusive decisions that leverage people’s talents and build trust.\nDesign and Facilitate Meetings: Use simple\, intentional processes to create environments for participation and successful collaboration.\n\nWhat You Can Expect\nThe Facilitative Leadership™ for Social Change workshop includes small group time to practice and grow your understanding\, and individual reflection to help integrate the practices into your life and work. We prioritize connection between the program participants because the group’s collective wisdom is precious\, and we try to give it space to grow and spread. \nIISC is pleased to have a team of brilliantly skilled trainers – some of the best in the movement.

SUMMARY:Light Work for Heavy Times: Networks as Fuel for Long-Term Collective Wellbeing
DESCRIPTION:Who Should Attend?\nThis session is ideal for anyone interested in social change\, equitable wellbeing\, and new ways of building stronger communities and grounded in trust\, alignment\, and distributed action in the service of sustainability\, equity\, and justice. \nWhy This Matters Now\nThese are both challenging and promising times. Low vibrations and descendant energies seem to be everywhere. It is vital to defend against efforts intended to harm people and take away their sovereignty. And there is a point at which\, if we are all or only responding to negativity\, we let that energy set the terms of the conversation and what moves forward. The fact is that light is always present\, in and around us. What may be required is some fuel. This is where we at IISC see networks and network weaving playing an essential role. \nTo counter forces that aim to isolate and keep us from one another\, we make and maintain meaningful contact. To keep fear from taking hold\, we show up warm-hearted and generous in our interactions. To support collective clarity\, we share accurate and timely information and remind each other of what matters most. \nThis is all the work of network weaving. In these times\, we see it as “light work”: a way to ease the load\, spread warmth\, and reconnect with our shared purpose. \nJoin us for an interactive webinar with two special guests\, partners\, and “light workers” in their own right: \n\nNoel Didla\, Center for Mississippi Food Systems\nKeith Bergthold\, Rural Communities Rising in Fresno County\, California.\n\nWe will explore strategies to weave stronger load-bearing and light-sharing networks\, so that you and the communities you care about can move through these times with clarity and conviction. \n \nWhat You’ll Learn\n\nThe Power of Networks: What are they\, how do they work\, and how can we tap their potential?\nPathways to Wellbeing: What are the core determinants of shared prosperity and equitable wellbeing\, and how do networks support these?\nGuiding Principles for Action: What are the core network principles to guide our work for the more beautiful world we know is possible?\n\n\nInteractive & Engaging Format\nThis session is highly interactive\, designed to promote meaningful dialogue and collaboration. It will include: \n\nCore Concept Presentations – Learn key frameworks and strategies\nSmall Group Breakouts – Engage in meaningful discussions\nReal-World Case Studies – Learn from successful partner networks focused on regenerative food systems and economic development in Mississippi and Fresno County\, California.\nGuided Reflection Activities – Exercises to encourage personal and professional insights on equity and network leadership practices.\nCoaching session with participants? (still exploring if this might work)\n\nSession Details & Pricing\n️ Tuesday\, July 15\, 2025 | 1 PM – 3 PM ET \n(10 AM– 12 PM PT | 11 AM – 1 PM MT | 12 PM – 2 PM CT) \nPricing: \n\n$25/person (Grassroots)\n$75/person (Nonprofit)\n$95/person (Foundation)\n$115/person (For-Profit/Social Venture)\n\nREGISTER HERE →\n\nYour Facilitators\nCurtis Ogden is a Senior Associate with the Interaction Institute for Social Change (IISC)\, where he has worked for two decades supporting social change leaders\, organizations and networks as a coach\, consultant\, facilitator\, trainer and network weaver.

And under current conditions\, leaders are overwhelmed with concern about their own organizations; their constituencies\, staff\, and key partners.
