Trainings

IISC’s trainings provide participants with the opportunity to learn and practice the skills and tools of collaboration so that they can design meetings, build and run organizations and networks with greater social impact.

IISC is continuing to seek a balance between our ongoing work with the health and safety of all in our network, including those of you interested in our trainings. Our priority now is conversion of our workshops to virtual offerings –  we look forward to announcing details about those options soon. We are not yet making plans to start offering in-person trainings again, but we have very much missed being in the room with you and look forward to restarting together when the time is right. We will post updates here as they become available, and we will share any training announcements via our mailing list. In the meantime, please take good care of yourself and your loved ones.

  • This workshop will give you tangible tools to do what you’ve always wished you could do better: marry your heart and your mind in leadership. This training showed me how to blend emotional intelligence, empathy, social justice, honesty, reflection,  and inquiry into pragmatic models with real outcomes. The best of both worlds! … being an efficient leader who cares what others bring to the table and inspires them for the best possible outcome.
