\n&nbsp\;
\nCan you remember when your organization&rsquo\;s website was designed? Can your supporters and constituents navigate and find the information they need? Can your staff members easily create or update content on your website? If you answered no to any of those questions, it might be time to bring that website into the 21st Century.
\n&nbsp\;
\nOver five Tuesdays in June and July, join Idealware as we walk you through Website 101, review best practices for accessibility, mobile-optimized sites, and reinforcing your organization&rsquo\;s online brand. We&rsquo\;ll also take a look at the content management systems (CMS) that can give even your least tech-savvy staff members the tools to update website content themselves. Finally, we&rsquo\;ll talk about how your website content works alongside your email, direct mail, and social media efforts to create your organization&rsquo\;s communications mix.
\n&nbsp\;
\nTakeaways from the course:
\n
\nDefine goals for how your website will serve your audience
\nLearn best practices for designing an accessible, usable, and polished website
\nCompare your content management system (CMS) options
\nHow to make sure your website shows up well on search engines 
\nCreate your organization&rsquo\;s website action plan with next steps and action items for an improvement process

\nDo people have trouble hearing you? Are you unable to get your message across effectively? You have rethought that statement several times, but it still seems to make no impact. Or maybe there&rsquo\;s someone you find it difficult to talk to, or feel as if that person&nbsp\;doesn&rsquo\;t&nbsp\;care about what you have to say.
\nCommunication style is a crucial element and understanding how your personal communication styles work for and against you will improve your ability to have meaningful interactions with others.
\nDuring this two hour workshop, participants will identify their individual communication styles using the &ldquo\;I-SPEAK Your Language&rdquo\; communication system that is centered on the work of Carl Jung. Jung&rsquo\;s work holds that individuals develop different psychological habits or preferences that influence how they process information, make decisions and ultimately communicate with others.
\nThis workshop will not only reveal your preferred style of communication, it will also improve your relationships with co-workers, volunteers, board members and even your boss.

\nWhenever you&rsquo\;re not getting the results you&rsquo\;re looking for, it&rsquo\;s likely a crucial conversation is keeping you stuck. Whether it&rsquo\;s a problem with poor quality, declining organizational support, or a strained relationship&mdash\;whatever the issue&mdash\;if you can&rsquo\;t talk honestly with nearly anybody about almost anything, you can expect poor results.
\nWhat is Crucial Conversations Training?
\nCrucial Conversations is a two-day course that teaches skills for creating alignment and agreement by fostering open dialogue around high-stakes, emotional, or risky topics&mdash\;at all levels of your organization. By learning how to speak and be heard (and encouraging others to do the same), you&rsquo\;ll begin to surface the best ideas, make the highest-quality decisions, and then act on your decisions with unity and commitment.
\nWhat is a Crucial Conversation?

Yet many nonprofit leaders struggle with determining which staff belong in each grouping, and some wonder: does it really matter? Attend this webinar to learn why classification matters, and how to avoid common mistakes and costly penalties related to classification. You&rsquo\;ll also get answers to your thorniest questions about &ldquo\;status,&rdquo\; including whether an employee of a nonprofit may also volunteer, what key factors render &ldquo\;independent contractor&rdquo\; status a poor choice, and what immediate steps are recommended to either audit your practices or correct errors in classification.
