Associations increasingly find themselves in a competitive environment where they must continually evaluate their relevance and impact to their communities. This creates the need to constantly innovate while managing day to day challenges. Creative thought requires an entrepreneurial mindset and a freeing from the daily grind we all feel each day.
To support a movement towards innovation in leadership, CommPartners along with our experts, Mary Byers, Dave Will and Melissa Schreibstein, have created the Advancing Leadership Webinar Series. This series is designed to help you identify specific tactics to enhance your performance, improve creativity and lead with clarity and conviction. We will specifically address how to develop a culture of leadership and innovation, giving you strategies to engage your community and strengthen your resilience.

In a volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous world where associations and their members are forced to adapt and respond to change, leaders need more than tactical and technical skills. The same strategies that U.S. Army leaders use to bolster resilience can help associations gain a mental edge and drive innovation.

Assess the quality of motivation and the culture of innovation within their organizations.
Explore how the Self-Determination Theory of Motivation (Deci & Ryan) and the Broaden and Build Theory of Positive Emotions (Fredrickson) can help set the conditions for an innovative culture.

Dave Will
Co-Founder & CEO, PropFuel
While working for SAP, a multi-billion dollar software company, nearly 20 years ago, Dave Will was advised to "walk faster and smile less, because perception is reality". Dave took this feedback to heart and started a business based on the antithesis of this advice. 14 years later, Dave successfully sold Peach New Media, an LMS for associations, which is now part of Community Brands. Since then, Dave and former Peach, Cameron Aubuchon, built a Feedback Automation Platform called PropFuel and they're here again to help associations build a stronger relationship with their members, staff and boards by gaining insight on a frequent and continuous basis.
