True leadership isn't just about reaching the finish line—it’s about how we get there and who we bring with us.
Dr. Jessie Piper is currently leaning into a powerful question: How can we work more thoughtfully with our teams and create truly meaningful engagement with our community?
To answer that, she’s doing more than just planning a meeting—she’s building a bridge.
Jessie is hosting the ToP Facilitation Methods training at Washburn University. She has secured the space and is bringing her team to the table, but she’s also left room for you.
This training is designed for leaders who want to move past "surface-level" cooperation and dive into:
>>>Structured Collaboration: Methods that make it possible for staff and community members to actually think together.
>>Inclusive Engagement: Techniques that ensure community voices aren't just heard, but are integrated into the path forward.
>>Thoughtful Outcomes: Moving away from "doing for" the community and moving toward "creating with" them.
If you’ve been looking for a way to make your community engagement more impactful and your internal teamwork more fluid, this is your invitation.
Join Dr. Piper and a cohort of purpose-driven leaders at Washburn. Let’s learn how to make the path to collaboration possible for everyone involved.
