Effective Governance Training Workshop:
Real Talk for Real Results.

Unite Your Council or Board; Elevate Leadership and Solve Critical Problems

Are division, dysfunction and unresolved issues hindering your council’s or governing board's progress? It’s time for honest, animated discussions to achieve agreement around clear goals and constructive processes. 

Recognize that disagreement is not only natural but necessary. Constructive conflict fosters diverse viewpoints and innovative solutions. Embracing respectful debate allows members to navigate differences and achieve the best outcomes for their community.

Invite Matt Lehrman to facilitate an Effective Governance Training Workshop specifically designed to help your council members overcome barriers, improve communication and commit to a path of productivity.

Key Objectives

• Address the Practical and Political Costs of Dysfunction: Identify and overcome the barriers that impede meaningful progress.
• Foster Candid Dialogue: Engage in hard-hitting conversations to recognize, respect, and genuinely understand varied perspectives.
• Develop Leadership Skills: Equip policy makers with practical skills needed for effective governance, tailored to their individual strengths and goals.
• Promote Collaboration: Develop strategies for leaders to work together courageously, boosting productivity and fostering mutual support.
• Uphold the Oath of Office: Focus on faithfully fulfilling the highest responsibilities of elected office, to govern without distraction and with deliberation.
• Civility as a Means, Not an End: Recognize that both on your council and throughout your community, a spirit of civility is built through shared values and trust-earning practices, rather than by mere pledges or lofty rhetoric.
