Training & Events
CollaborationNI’s training events aim to guide participating voluntary and community sector leaders through the process of developing new collaborative relationships.
By working across organisational boundaries, voluntary and community sector senior executives and boards can respond proactively to perceived threats to their organisation’s work and sustainability in the current fiscal and funding climate - and seize back some control of their own destiny.
CollaborationNI can offer bespoke and tailored training.

Partnership working in the voluntary and community sector has become commonplace. However, the experience of working in partnership can be very varied. While some partnerships grow and flourish and make huge impacts, others can struggle to find any sense of momentum.

Handling Difficult Conversations
All too often in the internal workplace or externally with partners and stakeholders, the important but difficult conversations do not take place thus leading to poor communication and disappointing professional relationships. This one day workshop will enable participants to plan and deliver a difficult conversation with confidence, while maintaining and developing the right relationships with key stakeholders.
