RESCHEDULED: CISA Winter Workshop Series: Growing People — Leadership from the Inside Out
February 16, 2017 @ 4:30 pm - 9:00 pm
RESCHEDULED: This workshop has been moved to February 16th due to snow. Part 2, originally scheduled for Feb 16th, will be rescheduled.
In this highly participative workshop, we will learn some foundations of leadership including what most impacts results, a powerful process for identifying core values, four stages of team development and how to clarify roles easily so there’s less confusion, increased efficiency, and retention of staff. Coming from a background in organizational development, Jannie Dziadzio now focuses on her local community, supporting a number of MA farmers as a consultant and mentor. The last ½ hour will be an opportunity to ask questions related to you and your farm.
Presenter: Jannie Dziadzio – Facilitator, Catalyst, and Consultant
This is the third in our eight session Winter Workshop series, Mapping Out Your Farm’s Future: Settings Goals for the Success and Sustainability of Your Farm
The full series:
CISA invites you to join our eight-workshop series on Mapping Out Your Farm’s Future: Settings Goals for the Success and Sustainability of Your Farm beginning January 2017. In order to draw a map of the future of your farm, you need a solid foundation with which to review your past and assess your present. This workshop series will support farm owners and operators in decision making for realistic long-term financial, operational, marketing, and personal goals. Examples in the workshops will be farm related, but the skills and methodology will be relevant to all businesses.
Participation in the whole series is encouraged. You will be eligible for a one-on-one consultation by attending one Business Plan workshop. Attending three workshops gives you the eligibility for an additional one-on-one consultation related to the topic of any workshop being held. Dinner will be served at each session. The cost to attend the series is $90 for Local Hero members, or $15 for each individual workshop. The non-member fee is $110 for the series, or $18 for each individual workshop. Register below or contact Stevie Schafenacker at stevie@buylocalfood.org or (413) 665-7100 x27. If cost is a barrier to your participation, please feel free to contact Stevie to discuss options as we want everyone to be able to get the training they need to effectively operate their business. Scholarships may be available.
The first half hour of each workshop will be for food and socializing. Workshops will begin promptly thereafter.
