THE POWER OF PERSONAL STORY: KNOW YOUR STORY AND LEAD WITH IT Dr. Nick Nissley, School for Creative and Performing Arts Regardless of my formal title, the role I’ve played throughout my career has been Chief Human Resourcefulness Officer, as I am driven to enable others’ capacity to think and act beyond boundaries, to achieve more than was previously imagined. I’ve approached my work life not just as a career, but as a cause; as an activist, fighting poverty in the workplace. I believe that we all suffer some form of poverty: poverty of imagination, or courage, or vision, or will. But, I refuse to be limited by false ideas of what’s possible. I’m a possibilitarian.

I have come to believe in the power of story – that we become the stories that we tell ourselves.

I like to invite others on this journey – to explore how we can be the author of our own stories.

In this keynote, I will share my ‘who I am story’. I share it to illuminate the importance of finding your story as well as the fact that sometimes we simply need to change our story, especially when we become stuck. Sometimes we may find ourselves in a story that no longer works.

What does a possibilitarian suggest, then? Change your story!

About Nick: Dr. Nick Nissley serves as Executive Director of The School for Creative and Performing Arts in Cincinnati, USA. This is the first public K-12 arts magnet school in the United States, funded through a one-of-a-kind public-private partnership.

STRENGETHENING THE NONPROFIT SECTOR

DAY ONE - OPENING PLENARY SESSION 11:00 am - 12:00 pm

Nick earned his Doctorate Degree in Education, from the George Washington University’s Graduate School of Education and Human Development, in Washington, DC. He has over 25 years of experience in educational leadership roles, extending from K-12 to the Universitylevel, and he has previously served in an Executive Director role at The Banff Centre.

His curiosity and passion for narrative art has led him to a life-long exploration of the intersection of story and learning – as an academic/writer, an educational leader, and as an applied theatre practitioner – seeking to understand how stories impart meaningfulness to our lives. He previously performed with Playback Columbus (improvisational storytelling/theatre), has been invited to perform at the Detroit Worker-Writer Festival, and he performed with Bread and Puppet Theatre, in Vermont. For more than twenty years, Nick has found great joy acting in organizational theatre performances on stages throughout the US and Canada, as well as England, Poland, and Slovenia. In the last couple of years he has returned to the stage with Ohio Playback Theatre, and he also serves as co-artistic Director of Cincinnati’s True Theatre – whose mission is to build community through the sharing of true, personal stories.

SARC FALL CONFERENCE 2017

DAY ONE - CONCURRENT SESSIONS Session 1 (1:30 pm - 4:00 pm)

1A: DEVELOPING YOUR LEADERSHIP STORY Dr. Nick Nissley, School for Creative and Performing Arts This session will build on his morning keynote, where Dr. Nissley shared his ‘who I am story’.

His personal story illuminates the importance of finding our story and understanding how it can be used as a resource for leadership. He will create a space and welcome us to begin giving voice to our personal stories.

Dr. Nissley also appreciates that stories are not static, or set in stone. In fact, sometimes, we must embrace changing our story. He will actively engage you to identify a leadership and/or personal challenge where you are feeling stuck (a story that’s not working) and then help you begin to shape a ‘rescription’ (or a new story that will allow us to get unstuck and achieve our goals).

Lastly, Dr. Nissley will help us more clearly see the connection between our personal stories and our leadership legacy, asserting, “It’s not what you gather, rather it’s what you scatter on your journey through life that tells the story of what kind of life you have lived”. He uses this as a final opportunity for reflection, exploration, and story sharing among participants – an opportunity for valuing our story, and to answer, how my story has made a difference in the lives of others.

1B: THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR AND BOARD RELATIONSHIP Marie-Claire Seebolm, Vantage Point The Executive Director and Board partnership is vital to the success of your organization. This partnership aligns your team to your mission and strategic goals and activates engagement within your community. In this session, you will learn to describe the distinct roles of the Executive Director and the Board while clarifying roles and responsibilities. You will also be able to identify, after attending this session, specific approaches to build the Executive Director and Board partnership, aligning as a team to focus on strategic goals and mission. This session will assist you in developing constructive conflict processes to foster collaboration.

About Marie-Claire: With over 15 years’ nonprofit and cooperative operations, and human resources (HR) leadership experience, MarieClaire is passionate about supporting social profit organizations to succeed through effective HR and governance practices. She has successfully supported small and larger organizations to meet the challenges of executive leadership transition, now as an independent consultant, and previously as People Solutions Consultant with Central 1 Credit Union. Other prior leadership positions include HR Director with the David Suzuki Foundation, HR Specialist with Vancity Credit Union and Operations Manager with Ecotrust Canada. Marie-Claire has served as a non-profit volunteer for over two decades; on the Board with Better Environmentally Sound Transportation, as a founding member of the West End Residents Association, and until recently as a Director with the Pivot Legal Society. An enthusiastic knowledge philanthropist with Vantage Point, she engages groups in discussions on governance and strategic planning – usually with a little HR sprinkled in!

Session 1 (1:30 pm - 4:00 pm)

1C: MINDFULNESS: WELL-BEING AND EFFECTIVENESS AT WORK Jeanne Corrigal, Mindfulness Works Mindful attention can help us develop a different relationship to these thought patterns, so that they take less of a toll on our energy and health. We practice letting go of our disabling thought patterns and of becoming more and more aware in the present moment. Work and life experience can deepen through a renewed sense of meaning and connection, and we can feel satisfied and grateful for the simplest of things. We can cultivate a sense of balance, well-being, choice, and satisfaction in our lives, and in our work.

In this session, you will be given an introduction to mindfulness including the definition, benefits, and neuroscience behind it. We can tell when we are not present because we find ourselves rushing, making mistakes, and feeling exhausted, stressed or burnt out.

These types of thought patterns can take a serious toll on our health, well-being and overall effectiveness both at work and in our personal lives.

About Jeanne: Jeanne Corrigal is a Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) Teacher, trained by Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn, and certified by the University of Massachusetts Medical School. She is also a certified Insight Meditation Teacher, studying with Jack Kornfield and other teachers internationally. She has practiced mindfulness for 18 years and taught for the last 10, leading classes, retreats, conference and corporate sessions. She has worked for 25 years as a certified Life Skills Coach Trainer, developing and facilitating adult education workshops and courses and specialising in mindfulness training.

2B: HOW TO NAVIGATE CONFLICT AND HAVE DIFFICULT CONVERSATIONS Deanne Karr, ACHIEVE Centre for Leadership and Workplace Performance Whether sharing bad news with a client, providing corrective action, or talking with a colleague about an uncomfortable issue, difficult conversations often take a large mental and emotional toll on everyone. In fact, having difficult conversations can be one of the most stressful and uncomfortable aspects of our lives and work. Yet the ability to handle difficult conversations respectfully and professionally is also an essential workplace skill. This session will review the key elements of preparing for, conducting, and concluding difficult conversations. You will leave with a set of tools to help ensure that difficult conversations are productive, professional and respectful for all involved.

Conflict holds great potential for harm and for good. The results of unhealthy conflict impact us individually and contribute to negative group performance. Those people who master essential conflict resolution skills reduce the occurrence of negative conflict in their lives, leading to healthier, happier relationships and work environments.

Conflict has many sources, including miscommunication, disagreements, stress and personality differences. Many conflicts would not spiral out of control if people used conflict resolution techniques that are easy to learn and utilize. This session will teach you to understand the dynamics of conflict and equip you with the skills needed to respond confidently and effectively.

About Deanne: Deanne has applied her skills in leadership, management

and organizational change for many years as a leader and manager with Mental Health and Addiction Services in Saskatchewan. She has a Bachelor of Arts degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Public Health, with expertise in program evaluation, project management and change management. As a leader, Deanne is passionate about creating a work environment where individuals feel valued, acknowledged and appreciated; and where collaboration, creative problem solving and team work are fostered and expected by the team. She understands the value of open communication, trust and accountability in developing functional and dynamic teams.
