Not only does the Flintridge Center in Pasadena offer other workshops like the Board Development training I’m leading on April 17th, they also recently launched an innovative leadership development program. “The goal of Flintridge Center’s Millennium Leadership program is to support young leaders in developing the skills to successfully lead community-based organizations and social impact projects or to serve the public.”

Strategic planning answers the question where do we want to go and how do we want to get there for your organization. Note I emphasized the “we” because this is a decision-making process that the entire leadership of an organization needs to make together. This process can vary in length and intensity.

Effective Organizations —-> Sustainability
I remember first hearing the term sustainability while a student at the University of Oregon in 1994. I directed my urban planning studies towards the implementation of sustainable practices and have actively worked to make the vision of a sustainable Los Angeles reality every since I returned here in 1997.

Making Questions Work
I just finished reading “Making Questions Work: A Guide to What and How to Ask for Facilitators, Consultants, Managers, Coaches and Educators” by Dorothy Strachan. This quote about sums it up: “the right questions for the right people at the right time are at the heart of a healthy group process-a top priority in effective and dynamic facilitation.”
