In the world of non-profits and community service, the demands are high, and the resources are limited. Whether it’s time, funding, staff, or expertise — there never seems to be enough. As a supervisor or project lead, you’re expected to juggle frontline needs, reporting requirements, team support, and strategic goals, all while trying to make meaningful change for the people you serve.

This practical and engaging workshop is designed specifically for leaders in community-serving roles who are navigating these constant pressures. You’ll gain insights and tools to better manage your time, energy, and workload — not by doing more, but by doing what matters most. In this workshop, you will explore:

– The neuroscience behind stress, decision fatigue, and why you feel stuck;
– Simple, effective tools you can use right away to manage competing demands;
– How to build “proactive productivity” into your daily routine — even in chaotic environments;
– Self-leadership strategies to stay focused amid distractions, crises, and shifting priorities;
– Goal-setting approaches that actually work in low-resource settings, with practical action plans; and
– How to use technology and simple tools to create capacity.

This workshop is about more than time management — it’s about reclaiming clarity, setting boundaries, and leading with purpose in a sector where your work truly matters.

Douglas College - Training Group

Training Group is a Douglas College department that provides a wide variety of training and development options for individuals and organizations. We support supervisors and teams in BC’s community service sector to grow, lead, and thrive. Our expertise lies in the “people side” of organizational development—this includes complex areas like communication, collaboration, service delivery, change management, workplace culture, relationship-building, and staff engagement. These human-centered challenges are at the heart of community-based work, and our training helps organizations strengthen the skills that matter most for sustainable impact.

All of our sessions use a “Learning by Doing” approach, where participants actively engage with their peers through real-time, hands-on exercises. These may include role-playing, scenario-based problem-solving, group presentations, and other interactive activities designed to reflect the realities of working in nonprofit and community settings.

Training is flexible and can be delivered on-site at your organization, at any Douglas College campus, at another convenient location in your community and even virtually for convenience.
