Who Should Attend?
If you are committed to creating conditions in which you and others can act together and make change, moving together from vision to action in extraordinary new ways, then Facilitative Leadership™ for Social Change is for you. IISC defines leadership broadly, regardless of formal or positional authority; participants from a variety of organizational and network structures and hierarchies find value in this training program. You will, as well.

Why This Matters

Facilitative Leadership™ for Social Change develops practical collaborative skills and tools for tapping our individual and collective creativity and experience as social change agents. At the heart of the workshop are powerful leadership practices that make it easy for all of us — regardless of race, class, gender, ability, sexuality, and other identities and experiences — to offer our perspectives and talents, speak up when we have problems, take initiative, make decisions, work with others, and share responsibility for the health of the team, organization, or network.

What You’ll Learn

Facilitative Leaders model key practices that make it easier for principled, self-empowered collaborators to communicate, decide, and act together. The following list of these practices represents what you will learn in our standard seven-session online workshop or our two-day in-person workshops to engage your own and your collaborators’ skills, wisdom, and energy towards your shared goals.

  • Introduction to Facilitative Leadership™ & Building Liberatory Power Equitably: Learn tools to create power-with, not power-over, focused on liberation and justice.
  • Focus on Results, Process, Relationships: Balance outcomes, continuous improvement, and healthy connections to sustain collaboration.
  • Discover Shared Meaning: Use communication to deepen understanding and improve decision-making and collective action.
  • See Systems: Navigate complexity by recognizing the connections between visible and hidden layers of systems.
  • Seek Maximum Appropriate Involvement: Make intentional, inclusive decisions that leverage people’s talents and build trust.
  • Design and Facilitate Meetings: Use simple, intentional processes to create environments for participation and successful collaboration.


What You Can Expect

The Facilitative Leadership™ for Social Change workshop includes small group time to practice and grow your understanding, and individual reflection to help integrate the practices into your life and work. We prioritize connection between the program participants because the group’s collective wisdom is precious, and we try to give it space to grow and spread.

IISC is pleased to have a team of brilliantly skilled trainers – some of the best in the movement. All are fully steeped in the practices of FL4SC and also bring their own unique facilitation magic as they deliver IISC’s workshops grounded in our lens of love, power, and networks. You can look forward to a joyful and inspirational experience that is highly interactive and may include music, poetry, somatic practices.

Sustaining the work of racial justice can feel overwhelming, especially when facing resistance or isolation. Have you ever wondered how to stay grounded and effective in this work, or how to find the support you need to keep going?

Our FREE Racial Justice Community of Practice is here for you. This quarterly gathering is a space for connection, reflection, and learning. Together, we’ll explore challenges, celebrate progress, and share strategies to advance racial justice in and through our organizations. Whether you’re just starting out or deeply experienced, this is your community to recharge so you can lead boldly.

This community is open to anyone engaged in advancing racial justice - not just alumni of our workshops. Join us as we continue building a community of leaders driving meaningful change!

 

What to Expect

In each session, we will dig into some elements of the “who” and “how” of leading for racial justice. We will use the document, Preparing Yourself to Serve, as a starting point for our discussions. Topics could include:

 

WHO: Sustaining Myself as a Leader in This Work

  • How am I staying grounded and centered? How can I prepare my heart and mind to lead for racial justice?

  • How does my identity matter as I lead for racial justice? What challenges am I facing as a leader? (includes racial affinity spaces)

  • What’s my orientation toward collaborative leadership? How does/doesn’t that align with the expectations of the people I’m leading and partnering with?

 

HOW: Collaborating to Advance Racial Justice

  • Making the case for change and building buy-in, especially in the current context

  • Engaging stakeholders and making decisions together

  • Designing spaces for planning and learning

 

WHAT: Deepening Understanding of Strategies

  • Understanding the current context

  • Lessons learned from challenges and successes in advancing racial justice

  • Opportunities to build solidarity across issues, communities, and strategies
