Program leaders have an enormous impact on employee retention and engagement. People do not leave a job because of the work; they leave a job because of the management.

Program leaders are the translators of the organization’s strategy and they play a key role in generating enthusiasm among employees by helping them to see the vision and mission in action. Program leaders are the heart and soul of most organizations. This Program Leader Certificate is geared towards those who can play a pivotal role in ensuring that their programs and teams get the support needed to thrive. (Lunch is provided.)

New for 2023, the Program Leader Certificate will incorporate group coaching in addition to the core workshops to provide additional opportunities for participants to process, retain, and incorporate the information presented.

(To complete the Program Leader Certificate, complete the core workshops, group coaching sessions, plus two elective workshops. You may choose any CNM workshop to fulfill your elective requirement. To sign up, register for Part 1 and you will automatically be enrolled in the three core workshops and group coaching sessions.)

The driving force behind all organizations is their employees. As leaders our success depends on the performance of our teams. Yet, if we don’t understand the foundational principles of performance management, our organization can sputter and stall out.

In this interactive workshop, you will learn the eight foundational drivers of performance and how coaching with confidence will lead to better results.

Part 3:  Taking Care of Your Teams / Addressing Staff Burnout with Candace Surface  

4/4/2023 -  (9:00 AM – 2:30 PM CST)


Leadership comes with daunting, unexpected challenges both personally and professionally, for all of us. Now more so than ever is the need to take better care of our health. Be it mentally, physically, emotionally, it can be hard to know where to begin to care for yourself, much less the needs of others. So many leaders in the sector experience burnout and are seeking better balance for themselves and their teams. Perhaps you have the desire for balance, but don’t know where to begin to equip yourself and your team to be able to not just survive but thrive.  

Learning Objectives: 
•    Understand how to create a culture of self-care 
•    Understand your own story of self-care and taking practical steps in the journey for staff well-being 
•    Being mindful as a way to prevent the burn out that so many in the sector experience
