NEW PROGRAMS & EVENTS

 

At CompassPoint, we are constantly designing and experimenting with creative, innovative ways to shift power and culture towards equity and justice by trying things on with each other and with our community. Fifty years into being a leadership development organization and we are still learning, modeling, and dreaming up more liberatory approaches to nurturing and practicing leadership.
 
We believe that leadership development must adapt and be responsive to the changing needs and conditions of the social change sector and the progressive movements we support. We uphold the importance of moving people in emergent leadership (particularly Black, Indigenous, and people of color) from the margins to the center. We affirm that holding learning + practice spaces for relationship building, sustainable and equitable work cultures, and healing justice are key tenets to transforming ourselves, our sector, and the world we live in. 
 
All of the above brings us to this: We are excited to share with you the latest slate of offerings we have created with our community in mind, and look forward to continuing our journey to get closer to liberation, together.
 

Unless otherwise noted, all programs & events listed are held online via Zoom in Pacific time.

Conflict Resolution Practice Pods: Building Skills for Generative Conflict

Wednesdays 2/19, 3/5, 3/19 | 9:30am-12:30pm

As many of us know, conflict is challenging and inevitable. With the right tools and reframing, we can open ourselves to the possibilities of conflict as generative, healing, and transformative. This three-part online learning series (plus 1 optional, additional BIPOC-only session) offers a supportive peer learning space for anyone who wishes to deepen their skills and practices around engaging in conflict resolution with others. This offering builds upon concepts from our Conflict Resolution with Power and Privilege in Mind workshop.

Multi-Session Series

Building Equitable & Just Organizations Through Individual & Relational Practices

Wednesdays 3/5, 3/12, 3/19, 3/26 | 9:30am-1pm
Registration Fee: $750

We spend a huge portion of our lives in the workplace. We all deserve to work in environments that feel safe, empowering, and enable us to succeed. In this learning series, participants will be provided with a supportive learning space and tools to critically reflect, ideate, and practice strategies and skills for shifting power and centering relationships in their workplaces, using Black feminist, anti-racist, and organizational psychology frameworks to develop their leadership praxis. While we recognize that as individuals, we don’t always have the decision-making power to make these changes in our organizations ourselves, this space focuses on what we can do as individuals to model and influence culture change.

Multi-Session Series

How You Be? Radical Visioning as Black Leaders

Fridays 4/4, 4/11, 4/25 | 9:30am-12:30pm
Registration Fee: $675

When Black folks step into greater power and responsibility, they often inherit old visions and outdated traditions of enacting leadership that don't necessarily align with or fully capture their brilliance, values, and potential. Furthermore, Black leaders generally have few opportunities to commune with their peers or receive thought partnership on shared day-to-day struggles. This learning series provides the time, spaciousness, peer support, and resources for Black people in leadership to grow their creativity and vision in order to reground in their purpose and increase their transformative impact on the organizations, communities, and movements they lead.
