SEED:Management

Are you a newly promoted manager?

An administrator supervising new managers?

A seasoned manager looking for new strategies?

Good management is its own challenge: along with knowledge of your organization and your department, you need a framework and strategies for how to manage a team.

On January 13, in New York City, we will be offering a full-day management training focusing on key skills including: running a good meeting, creating a sense of belonging, sharing effective feedback, and supporting your direct reports.

You will get to set individual goals, and we’ll host two 90-minute virtual sessions to further build your skills and give you some peer check-ins for accountability.

The SEED trio – Rachel, Rebecca, and David – have both museum-based management experience and research-based understanding of key management skills. As consultants, we have heard from both leadership and new and seasoned managers that good management is key to institutional (and individual) success. Non-profits historically neither hire nor train for management skills, leaving staff unprepared for some aspects of their jobs.

We have designed this offering to address some of these major challenges and to help managers thrive!

Program dates: January 13, 2025 (10am-5pm; in person in NYC, exact location TBD)

February 24 & April 7, 2025 (3-4:30pm Eastern; virtual)

Cost: $650-800 per person (see below for details)

Early bird deadline: November 15

Registration closes: December 20
