STARTING STRONG COALITIONS

March 27th, 12pm - 3pm EST/ 9am - 12pm PT

If believing strength in numbers is how we win long-term change, then coalitions are a natural step that many organizations take. But what makes a coalition able to sustain inevitable conflict? Under what conditions should coalitions be started or ended? How can coalitions begin with clarity and intentionality?

​

This workshop covers the fundamentals of creating a strong coalition. There are steps you can take to develop clear expectations and conflict resolution practices that will keep your coalition strong for the long-haul. This workshop will offer concrete steps you can take and tools you can use for starting coalitions.

​

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

​

By the end of this workshop you will have:​

• Identified best practices for developing and maintaining a coalition

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

• Practiced talking about power dynamics, conflict, organizational self-interest, and capacity within your coalition
