Course description


In nonprofit leadership, communication is key. This course by MindEdge identifies the particular challenges involved in communication between leaders at a nonprofit and their board of directors and demonstrates how learners can work around them. Among three case studies and numerous video responses from experts, this course focuses on three main topics: identifying healthy vs. unhealthy communication, preparing for presentations and delivering information, and communicating in difficult times. Learners will learn to tailor information and communication for a board audience; after completing the course, they will understand what healthy communication looks like and will be able to identify and diagnose the most prevalent communication struggles in nonprofit leadership.
 

You will receive a downloadable OWL Certificate of Completion upon completion of this course.
