SUMMARY:Building Psychologically Safe Workplaces - March 18

SUMMARY:Building Belonging by Viewing DEI Through a Neuroinclusive Lens - May 27
DESCRIPTION:For Community Social Services\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMany DEI efforts focus on what we can see. This session expands the conversation to include how people think\, process\, and learn. Designed for community social services professionals\, this presentation connects the principles of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion to neurodiversity\, a dimension of diversity that’s often invisible and under-discussed. Through practical strategies and a neuroinclusive lens\, participants will explore how to build environments where belonging isn’t just a value on the wall\, but something people actually experience at work. \nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\n Describe how neurodiversity expands conventional understandings of diversity\, equity\, and inclusion (DEI)\, including invisible differences in thinking\, processing\, and learning\nExplain how neuroinclusive practices contribute to a stronger sense of belonging in community social services settings\nIdentify common workplace barriers that may unintentionally exclude neurodivergent individuals\nApply practical\, neuroinclusive strategies to foster belonging in everyday work environments\n\nAbout presenter\nJackie Connelly (she/her) is a neuroinclusive leadership consultant\, speaker\, certified organizational coach and stroke survivor with over a decade of HR and DEI leadership experience across public\, private\, and non-profit. Through her practice\, Coaching That Belongs\, Jackie partners with organizations to build neuroinclusive leadership capability through engaging in-person and virtual programs that move beyond awareness into sustained development and systems change. She also works with individual professionals\, many of them neurodivergent\, to build confidence\, clarity\, and a felt sense of belonging at work through 1:1 coaching. \nJackie holds a Post-Degree Diploma in HR Management and Leadership (Camosun College)\, a Certificate in Organizational Coaching (UBC)\, a Coaching Neurodiversity at Work certification (PersonaGrata Consulting)\, and a Bachelor of Fine Arts (UBC).

SUMMARY:It's Not You: The Impact of Nonprofit Systems on Leader Well-Being - June 24
DESCRIPTION:For Community Social Services\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe role of leaders in a non-profit organization is uniquely challenging\, and it is taking its toll – both on the well-being of those currently in these roles\, and on the capacity of the sector to invite new leaders to step in. There are systems at play\, and leaders are paying the price: \n\n\n\n\n\nThe exhaustion of never having enough admin support because of the ‘overhead myth’\,\nCorporate-colonial governance structures that lose sight of purpose\nThe constant expectations of funders\,\nThe tokenism of recruiting racialized and Indigenous leaders without addressing underlying racism and power dynamics in the organization\,\nThe stress of either staff unionization and/or employer/corporate -framed human resource systems and the “us vs. them” thinking this creates\, or\nThe chill of lobbying and advocacy laws that keep us from getting at core causes.\n\n\n\n\nThis webinar will explore those systems and offer practical tools for you to apply to support your well-being\, as well as highlight sector changes needed to reset the cycle of exploiting non-profits and their leaders to meet the world’s most challenging needs.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRegister

SUMMARY:Capacity to Execute: The Resource Behind Sustainable Performance
DESCRIPTION:For Community Social Services\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEnergy is one of the most important – most overlooked – drivers of focus\, resilience\, decision-making\, and how well you show up day to day. This session introduces “capacity to execute” as a resource that can be strengthened over time. It shapes your ability to access the cognitive and emotional systems you need in the moment\, under pressure\, and over time: the clarity to think\, the steadiness to stay present\, the judgement to respond effectively. \n\nGrounded in nearly a decade of resarch and real-world application\, this session builds on what you already know about well-being by exploring the cognitive\, behavioral\, and relational patterns that can afffect your energy and capacity. This is particularly relevant in roles like yours\, where the mental\, emotional\, and relational demands are high every day. \n\nThrough science-based insights\, guided self-reflection\, hands-on practice\, you’ll learn to recognize your own patterns and where you sit on the capacity continuum. You’ll also explore a practical four-part framework – plugging energy leaks\, increasing energy\, optimizing how you spend it\, and managing relational energy – to start shifting it upward. You’ll leave with tactical\, immediately usable micro-habits to build sustainable capacity – not simply to get through the day\, but to continue your vital work while protecting the capacity that drives your performance\, health and relationships. \n\nBy the end of this session\, participants will be able to: \n\nUnderstand what capacity to execute is\, its role in sustainable performance and recognize where they currently sit on the capacity continuum.\nApply a four-part framework for managing personal energy – plugging energy leaks\, increasing energy\, optimizing how it’s spent\, and managing relational energy.\nImplement tactical\, immediately usable micro-habits that protect performance\, health\, and relationships.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeakers\n\nSarah Deane \n\nSarah Deane is a researcher\, educator and founder advancing the science of human energy and performance. As CEO of MEvolution\, she has spent nearly a decade exploring\, applying\, and refining a framework for human energy as a measurable asset – mapping its inputs and outputs\, identifying what drains and restores it\, and quantifying its direct relationship to performance and wellbeing. Her work is grounded in a core proposition: Performance = Capability x the Capacity to Execute – and that capacity is determined by the brain’s available energy and how effectively it is used. Her evidence-based framework has been applied across enterpirse\, healthcare\, and academia. She has studied human behavior around the globe and led HP’s Worldwide Employee Workplace Experience Program team serving over 320\,000 employees. She has presented at conferences such as SXSW\, HRWest\, Gartner\, and The World Leaders in Data & AI Forum\, and her insights have appeared in Fast Company\, The Wall Street Journal\, Thrive Global\, SHRM\, and Psychology Today amongst others. Most recently\, she was named a Reworked Contributing Author of the Year for her work examining human capacity in the context of leadership\, organizational effectiveness\, and the age of AI. \n\nSarah holds a Master of Engineering in Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence\, teaches her own highly rated courses at Standard University Continuing Studies on energy management and values\, and has guest lectured for the Stanford Graduate School of Business and School of Medicine on managing energy as the currency of performance. This fall she presents at Stanford’s Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Education (CCARE)\, alongside Dr Alvarez\, on the link between capacity and compassion in caring roles. \n\nRegister
