[Upcoming Event] Difficult Conversations, Part 2: Giving and Receiving Feedback
Join our upcoming event, "Difficult Conversations, Part 2: Giving and Receiving Feedback!"
📅 Tuesday, May 26, 2026
⏰ 2:00 PM ET / 11:00 AM PT
⏱ 45 minutes
Feedback is one of the most important tools a board has and one of the easiest things to avoid.
Whether it’s giving constructive input to a fellow board member, responding to concerns from leadership, or receiving difficult feedback yourself, these conversations shape trust, accountability, and culture across the organization.
But too often, feedback is:
- Delayed until frustration builds
- Delivered emotionally instead of constructively
- Avoided altogether to “keep the peace”
- Taken personally instead of used productively
In Part 2 of our Difficult Conversations series, we’ll focus specifically on the art of giving and receiving feedback well within nonprofit leadership and governance settings.
This will be another candid, peer-driven discussion grounded in real boardroom dynamics and practical strategies you can use immediately.
👥 Who This Session Is For
This session is especially valuable for:
- Current nonprofit board members
- Board chairs and officers
- Executive Directors and CEOs working closely with boards
- Governance committee members
- Anyone navigating accountability, communication, or leadership dynamics within a nonprofit organization
Whether you’re delivering feedback, receiving it, or trying to create a healthier culture around it, this conversation is designed to help.
🎯 What We’ll Explore
Together, we’ll discuss:
- Why feedback often becomes emotionally charged
- How to deliver feedback clearly while preserving relationships
- How to receive difficult feedback without becoming defensive
- The difference between criticism, accountability, and coaching
- Practical frameworks that create more productive conversations
- How healthy feedback cultures strengthen boards and organizations over time
We’ll also work through real-world scenarios and invite participants to share approaches that have worked well and lessons learned along the way.
🧭 Session Format
This is not a lecture or traditional webinar.
The session will include:
- Brief framing and practical tools
- Peer discussion and shared experiences
- Interactive conversation around real nonprofit scenarios
- Actionable takeaways participants can immediately apply
As with all Collective sessions, the goal is to create a space where nonprofit leaders can learn from one another honestly and practically.
Why This Conversation Matters
Strong boards are not built by avoiding hard conversations.
They are built by learning how to navigate them with:
- Clarity
- Respect
- Accountability
- Curiosity
- Trust
Handled well, feedback becomes more than correction. It becomes a tool for growth, alignment, and stronger leadership.
