SUMMARY:Saying Hard Things: Adopting a Coaching Mindset
DESCRIPTION:Partner Event hosted by the North Carolina Center for Nonprofits\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nVirtual Workshop – Live/OnlineFee*: $75 with promo codePromo code: PARTNER20 \n\n\n\n\n\nRegister Today\n\n\n\n\n*Note: when registering\, use the promo code PARTNER20 \n\n\n\n\nDates \n\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 4\, 2026 @ 11am – 12:30pm CT / 12 – 1:30pm ET\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 11\, 2026 @ 11am – 12:00pm CT / 12 – 1pm ET\n\n\n\nWednesday\, November 18\, 2026 @ 11am – 12:30pm CT / 12 – 1:30pm ET\n\n\n\n\nHow do you address mediocre performance without damaging trust? How do you motivate people when everyone is carrying so much? What do you do when an employee’s behavior no longer aligns with your organization’s values or mission? \n\n\n\nSupervising people has never been simple\, and today’s workplace brings even more complexity. The most effective supervisors don’t have all the answers—they know how to ask thoughtful questions\, offer honest feedback\, and help employees grow while staying accountable. \n\n\n\nIn this practical\, highly interactive *three-part series\, participants will learn how adopting a coaching mindset can transform difficult conversations into opportunities for greater clarity\, ownership\, and development. We’ll explore what gets in the way of effective coaching\, practice tools for navigating challenging performance conversations\, and build the confidence to lead with both honesty and compassion.  *Part One: 11/4; “Porch-Sit” Session (optional): 11/11; Part Two: 11/18 (all sessions are virtual) \n\n\n\nParticipants will leave with practical frameworks they can use immediately to: \n\n\n\n\nAddress performance concerns early and directly.\n\n\n\nHold people accountable while maintaining strong relationships.\n\n\n\nSupport employee growth through curiosity rather than assumption.\n\n\n\nNavigate values misalignment with greater confidence and clarity.\n\n\n\nLead difficult conversations that strengthen both individuals and the organization’s mission.\n\n\n\n\nWhether you’re a first-time supervisor or a seasoned leader\, this series offers practical skills you can apply immediately to build stronger teams and healthier workplace cultures.  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvent Details\n\n\n\nIf you have any questions\, please reach out to Rebekah Beck (rbeck@ncnonprofits.org). \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker Information\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nEvangeline is a social change agent with a twinkle in her eye. For over 25 years\, she has sustained leaders on a path towards intentionality\, purpose\, and impact.
