LEVEL UP: Maintaining Strong Coalitions

If believing strength in numbers is how we win long-term change, then coalitions are a natural step that many organizations take.

Many organizations come together with a shared goal, but don't do the groundwork that supports them to have hard conversations, share power, make decisions, and build trust. As a result, conflict emerges and our coalitions weaken. There is another option–one where we prepare for and navigate conflict in ways that strengthen our coalitions.

​

In this workshop, we will share tools and practices that address the root causes of conflict in coalitions. Participants perform a coalition maintenance check and receive support responding to gaps and challenges identified during that check.

 

By the end of this workshop you will have

• Understood root causes of conflict that comes up in coalitions

• Assessed your coalition in regards to these root causes

• Learned tools and practices that support groups to make decisions and disagree, build cultures of shared responsibility and cooperation, and navigate power dynamics and conflict

• Identified concrete steps towards maintaining, reorganizing, and strengthening your coalition

​

This is an interactive online workshop. Be prepared to be on camera,  practice and receive feedback. Having a computer with strong internet connection and the ability to connect to video will ensure the best experience.
