How can I create more Open Communication Among my Teams?

Explore the root causes of communication breakdown and how to lead dialogue without burning out.

When communication breaks down, it doesn’t just create confusion — it leads to mistrust, missed opportunities, and emotional exhaustion. In this session, we’ll unpack what gets in the way of open dialogue in high-pressure environments and explore practical, liberatory approaches to building more transparent, trust-based communication — without putting the burden solely on you as a leader.

In this 1-hour session, we’ll explore why communication breaks down, what gets in the way of transparency, and how to lead in a way that opens up dialogue —

without burning yourself out.

What's the problem?

Leadership in this moment is heavier than ever. You’re being asked to do more with less,

keep staff engaged through burnout, make tough calls under political pressure, and carry a vision that may no longer align with your team or your board, all while still delivering on the mission.

Not to mention carrying all the emotional weight.

Why?

Because leading in the nonprofit sector has never felt more uncertain, requiring leaders to navigate competing values, staff well-being, and organizational sustainability all amidst rising political tensions. Executive Directors & senior leaders are being asked to hold more responsibility, nuance, pressure, now all under the looming threats to funding.

What will I gain?

We’ll explore the strategic, practical and emotional challenges of nonprofit leadership while helping you reset. Each session is both a strategy room and a grounding space for you to get rooted in real-world organizational development and liberatory leadership frameworks so that you can lead with more clarity, courage & confidence during these times.
