Managing to Change the World – BIPOC Manager’s Cohort

Managers who are Black, Indigenous, and People of Color (BIPOC) face specific issues as leaders – issues that result from racism, classism, sexism, and other forms of oppression. This cohort is designed to provide a common space for BIPOC managers to learn a wide range of effective management strategies and share practices that help managers of color thrive. 

This training requires a brief application, and we prioritize people managers from progressive social justice and educational equity organizations. We strive to build a cohort that is diverse in identity, background, and organization size. We select participants on a rolling basis for each cohort.

This training, specifically for BIPOC managers, is a compilation of Managing to Change the World and several Skill Builders with additional content on race and power dynamics.

You’ll leave ready to:

• Level the playing field for marginalized staff

• Delegate projects and responsibilities effectively

• Build strong manager-staff relationships

• Give effective and actionable feedback

• Develop your staff and address performance problems equitably

• Clearly define roles to hand off big responsibilities

• Develop strategic goals that yield measurable progress and strengthen equity and inclusion

• Work more effectively with your own manager

• Recognize the impact of internalized oppression and practice effective ways to show up as your authentic self

The BIPOC Manager’s Cohort takes place online via Zoom, over three consecutive, 6-hour days.
