Videos The New Nonprofit Playbook - Webinar 97% of nonprofits have annual revenues of less than $5 million, leading many to think organizations don’t have the capacity or scale to create the community change we seek. As organizations face funding challenges, nonprofit partnerships and mergers are on the rise. But how are these structures evolving as organizations partner to pool resources, augment strategic capabilities, drive efficiencies, and ultimately increase their strength? Could a partnership or merger be the right move for your own organization, and what are the considerations you should take into account? Join hosts Mary Stelletello and Steve Zimmerman for a panel discussion. Minutes with Mary: Enneagram Mini-Series - The Three Instincts of Enneagram Types In today’s episode of the Enneagram mini-series, Jayson and I explore another component of the Enneagram framework. Just when you thought you were getting a handle on the different types..there’s more! This layer of the subtlety of the Enneagram emerges from the combination of three basic instincts within each core Enneagram type. These basic instincts combine with each of the 9 types leading to a total of 27 subtypes, three for each primary type. When the passion and the dominant instinctual drive come together, they create an even more specific focus of attention, reflecting an insatiable need that drives behavior. Dr. Claudio Naranjo, considered one of the pioneers of bringing the Enneagram subtypes into modern psychology, integrated this knowledge to create a comprehensive framework for understanding human behavior. Minutes with Mary: Enneagram Mini-Series - The Enneagram in the Global Context In today’s episode of the Enneagram mini-series, Jayson and I will share our experience using the Enneagram in global and cross-cultural contexts. As the work environment becomes more global, it is important for leaders to have increased cultural competence so that all team members feel understood and can contribute their best to team success. We will explore the potential pitfalls of applying your individual cultural lens, share insights and tools to assist you in using a culturally competent approach with the Enneagram and provide examples of the effectiveness of the Enneagram in a global context. Minutes with Mary: Enneagram Mini-Series - The Enneagram & Leadership Development In today’s episode of the Enneagram mini-series, Jayson and I will share how the Enneagram can support you in moving toward the version of your best self through accessing the attributes of the Enneagram styles of your wings and lines. Our belief systems about leadership, influence what we pay attention to and what we ignore. We tend to develop skills and strengths in areas we deem important while qualities of other leadership perspectives are less developed. By integrating one or more additional leadership paradigms into your dominant perspective, you will begin to notice more possibilities for expanding your behaviors, skills and mindsets. Minutes with Mary: Enneagram Mini-Series - The Enneagram & Teams In today’s episode of the Enneagram mini-series, Jayson and I will expand on the topic of the nine Enneagram leadership types to include team styles. Teams are how we get work done, how we accomplish goals, how we rely on each other’s gifts and create impact. When we don’t have a clear understanding of the individual team member's motivations, fears, communication styles and gifts, our teams aren’t operating at full potential. We will explore the stages of team development and how the Enneagram can create a road map for team success.

We’ll pull back the curtain on the meaning of Double Clicking and provide concrete examples of how to ask for the deeper meaning of a word or commonly used phrases. When a meaningful conversation requires more than mutual agreement of definitions, we use conversational agility to reframe, refocus and redirect the mindset of the speaker, which opens access to different parts of the brain. Using these tools ensures that at the end of a meeting your team agrees on much more than definitions.
