Management Skills Coaching
Project details
What we need
- Initial assessment of areas of strength, targets for improvement and specific areas of focus desired for the coaching sessions
- Up to 6 coaching sessions exploring areas such as motivation, empowerment, collaboration, communication, giving / receiving feedback & conflict management
- Wrap-up session with actionable steps and advice moving forward as a manager
Additional details
CEF has a collaborative, flat-feeling, ethics-driven and empowerment-based culture. We are a growing 10 year old non-profit where co-founders and senior employees first took on supervisory responsibilities without having supervisory experience or training. We are looking to shore up management/supervisory skills (fitting with our org culture), and would love to connect with a volunteer with a commitment to/understanding of racial equity, power dynamics, and trauma lens.
What we have in place
- A summer intern worked with us last year to interview staff team members and create a collated toolkit/guide to inform 1-on-1 supervisory meetings, which is a helpful starting tool. What feels missing is the implementation of structure and practices in 1-on-1 meetings and the growth of healthful ongoing mutual feedback-sharing.
How this will help
This project will save us $7,248 , allowing us to offer housing, employment, and financial empowerment support to more members of our community.
As we have grown, staff have named supervisory support as a critically important area where growth is needed. We desire to implement more robust supervisory practices that fit well with organizational culture with an equity/justice and trauma-sensitive lens, to be able to more deeply support staff with implementation and growth of programs.

Our mission
The Community Empowerment Fund offers savings opportunities, financial education, and assertive support to individuals who are seeking employment, housing, and financial freedom. The opportunities for employment and greater housing that CEF advances motivate participants to build personal assets, gain higher income, engage in a healthy community, and sustain transitions out of poverty.
