7 LEADERSHIP DURING TIMES OF CHANGE Speaker: Alison Springer NOTES

8 WHAT ARE MY GENII? Workshop Leader: Melissa Tobin

Everybody has skills, talents and qualities that make them awesome. What are yours? Write down five skills, talents, qualities, or things you are great at. Then write down an example of a time where you displayed each thing on the list.

Examples: I’m great at baking. My friends compliment me on my gingerbread cookies. I’m great at giving back to my community. I’ve been volunteering every week with a local organization.

What are you great at? Why?

What challenges am I facing?

Challenges could be in personal, professional, a skill you aren’t comfortable with, or something related to your project. It could be something you are currently experiencing, or a barrier you might CHALLENGES experience in the future.

Diagram Description automatically generated

Examples: Focusing during online school Finding a facility to host an event

9 WHAT ARE MY GENII? Workshop Leader: Melissa Tobin

What are your goals? Create three S.M.A.R.T goals that you would like to achieve. A S.M.A.R.T goal is: Specific: What do you want to do? Measurable: How will you know when you’ve achieved it? Achievable: Is the goal attainable but still challenging? Relevant: Does it align with your vision? Timely: When do you want to accomplish your goal? What is the timeframe?

Example: Improving my grades S: I want to increase my marks in math and science on my report card. M: I can measure this goal by comparing my last report card to my upcoming report card. A: Math and science are challenging for me but it’s possible for me to improve. R: Improving my grades will help with my bigger goal of being accepted to university. T: I want to accomplish my goal by my final report card in one month.

Achieving and Overcoming Obstacles

How can I overcome my challenges to achieve my goals? Are the challenges you are facing (from activity 2), and your goals (from activity 3) aligned with one another? Pick one challenge and one goal and create a plan to overcome the challenge and achieve your goal. What is your back up plan?

Example: Challenge: Focusing during online school Goal: Improving my grades Plan: Before class, I’ll get dressed and work at my desk instead of logging onto class in bed. I’ll have a stretch break between classes instead of checking social media. I think by focusing better during school, I will learn the material better and improve my grades. Backup plan: I can talk to my teacher about my trouble with focusing during class. She might be able to change up the flow of our classes or give me some tips to help me stay on task.

NEVER GONNA STOP Never Gonna Stop (NGS) is an initiative that aims to motivate others to work hard in spite of any obstacles that may be in their way. The purpose of this movement is to provide easy access to physical and mental health-related activities for youth. This will be inclusive to all genders, races, bodies, religions, or economic status’ in our city, Hamilton.

Growing up in the same impoverished and low-income neighbourhood, Saifon, David and Alex noticed that many of the youth in the neighbourhood were extremely talented. However, they did not have the resources nor platforms to develop and showcase their talents. Therefore, they decided to create opportunities in hopes to motivate youth to never stop chasing their dreams and invest in a brighter future.

NGS realized that the city of Hamilton was filled with a lot of talented youths with a lot of potential but tend to get discouraged and fail because of lack of guidance. As a result, most youth turn to other means of making money and providing for themselves. As NGS, we strive to be that source of guidance and knowledge that the youth in our community need in order to fulfill their wildest dreams.

NOTES

20 A LOOK INTO MY COMMUNITY Workshop Leaders: Never Gonna Stop

UNCOVER

Let’s start with your passions and the community issues that you have been taking note of. This section will work through reflecting on what drives you and which communities might benefit from your passions.

We use the word community a lot. What do we mean by that? YOU get to decide what community means to you. We are not here to define it for you. Your community could be those that share the same spaces as you - where you live, or where you to school. It could be the community you identify with in race, class, gender, sexual orientation, or those who share common barriers to success. Fellow students, activists, senior citizens, or a group of individuals with a shared history or trait an also be your community.

PAUSE FOR THOUGHTS – ACTIVITY

Think about some of the communities you belong to. Which are those? What ties you to them?

COMMUNITY

what else ties to me in this community?

Myself

21 A LOOK INTO MY COMMUNITY Workshop Leaders: Never Gonna Stop

Let’s pick 3 of the communities that you hold closet to you. What are the issues that these communities face? What feelings do these issues invoke in you?

What does the How does it make me What is the issue this Community community need to help feel when I think community is facing? with this issue? about this issue?

We do not have enough school events or More events that give them a platform to opportunities to learn more about being an ally Upset, confused, excited for change My high school share their experiences to the LGBTQ2+ community

The PassionToPurpose grant program focuses on a few areas that your issues might fall into and that your solution might help:

Arts & Culture: Would your community benefit from enhancing arts programs or cultural learnings? Education: How can you tackle issues that surround access to education? Or look at ways in which our educations can adapt to changes in society? Environment: How can you help your community focus on sustainable living or work on solutions to environmental issues? Food & Health: Can you raise awareness about food security and promote health education? Housing & Safety: What are barriers to safe spaces and access to livable conditions or homes? Social Justice: How can you raise awareness for discrimination against racialized groups? Sports & Recreation: What are ways to promote active lifestyles?

22 A LOOK INTO MY COMMUNITY Workshop Leaders: Never Gonna Stop

CONCEPTUALIZE

What Can I Change – ACTIVITY

What community do you feel would benefit the most from your community action?

What are the specific issues this community is facing?

______

Look at your list – what is the one thing that you feel is urgent and gives you the strongest sense of need?

This is the issue that we will focus on building out to help develop your project.

23 IMPLEMENTING CHANGE IN THE COMMUNITY Speaker: Sabrina Craig NOTES

24 DESIGNING A CHANGE PLAN Workshop Leaders: Sabrina Craig & Shelan Emre

Let’s focus on your issue..

How passionate are you about bringing a solution to this issue?

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

Self reflect – if you chose a number higher on the scale, it can be believed that the chances of you carrying through with your project and getting things done are higher. If you selected a number on the lower end of the scale, pause. Why aren’t you enthusiastic about this solution? Do you have the motivation, drive, and support that you need to get this done? Should you take a moment to rethink your possible solutions and find one that is better aligned to your enthusiasm?

What do you How this issue need to start be addressed your at the local community level? action?

25 DESIGNING A CHANGE PLAN Workshop Leaders: Sabrina Craig & Shelan Emre

Why are we facing this issue? Issues are like onions – there are so many layers! Peeling back the outer layers helps us understand root causes and the multilayer approach to designing solutions. Sometimes, and unfortunately, what you see is not all that it is. There can be underlying systemic barriers or other sub-issues that influence the problem. Understanding the cause of an issue or further layers to it, will help you think about a solution that focuses on the causes of the issue.

Think about when you cut yourself. Our first instinct is to get a band-aid or a cover for it then go about our day. How often though do we take the time to think about what additional things can prevent you from cutting yourself again or help you heal safer? What might support better healing is first treating the wound, cleaning it up and then putting on the band aid. What would help prevent a future cut is to evaluate your environment – what are the aspects of the environment that pose a reoccurrence of the cut? How can you switch up the environment to help keep yourself safe from future cuts?

The underlayers of an issue affecting your community are not always easily apparent. Addressing the underlying issues might help to provide a more sustainable, long term solution to the issue. You are laying the foundation for starting and continuing the healing. Asking yourself BUT WHY? can help look at what are the causes for the issues we want to address.

For example – if we are focusing on raising awareness and allyship for the LGBTQ2+ community because there is a lack of such opportunities – ask yourself, BUT WHY? Is it because people don’t understand the plights of this community? BUT WHY? Is that because media is overly representative of only one type of person, gender or relationship? BUT WHY? Is that because seeing difference makes people uncomfortable? BUT WHY? Is that because there was a lack of exposure during people’s formative years? BUT WHY? You can keep going! 26 DESIGNING A CHANGE PLAN Workshop Leaders: Sabrina Craig & Shelan Emre

Now let’s dissect your target issue. Each time you think of a cause, ask yourself, BUT WHY? Break down the causes as much as you can.

YOUR ISSUE

BUT WHY?

27 DAY 2 REFLECTIONS

Take some time to work through these reflection questions to bring home what you listened in to today to help process it and relate it to your personal journey.

What would I do differently if I were to approach the same community issue again?

What can I do with what I now know?

What surprised me today?

What did I learn today that will help prepare me for tomorrow’s workshops?

MY SMALL SCALE SOLUTION Workshop Leader: Hannah Jackson

Finding your Purpose within your passion.

What makes you excited?

What makes you angry?

What makes you sad?

These are the things that drive you to be a change maker. Take note of those situations that drive you to these emotions. Because it is passion that leads to purpose. And that purpose leads to actionable change. So, let us first figure out what kind of change maker you are.

What kind of change maker are you?

Enthusiast – You are enthusiastic about creating change in your community. You are full of energy and passion and see an abundance of things that could benefit your community, but it is hard to narrow it down to one issue. Everything seems equally important and urgent. That is okay you are not alone in feeling this way.

Visionary – You are remarkable; you have a vision for your community and want to be one of the leaders who help make it real. There is a specific community issue that you know you want to tackle, and you have so many ideas about how to make your vision a reality. Now it is a matter of figuring out to do put thought into action.

Creator – Your passion is infectious and your dedication to change is inspiring. You know what you enjoy and what you want to do, so now it is just a matter of putting pen to paper. You have identified what would be the most beneficial from you using your passions. You work with your team to create change and reinvent how the world looks at the issue at hand.

33 MY SMALL SCALE SOLUTION Workshop Leader: Hannah Jackson

Now that we have identified what kind of change maker we are, it is time to identify our strengths and weakness within those. Look through this Genii checklist and check off any of the skills that you have or add in your own.

34 MY SMALL SCALE SOLUTION Workshop Leader: Hannah Jackson

Alright, we know what kind of change-maker we are, we know our strengths and weakness. Now it is time to narrow down the issue at hand that drives us the most. The one that lights the fire within us, and we are most enthusiastic about. What do you want to change? Or what do you want to see changed? What do you hope to be apart of?

Conceptualize

What is the community I feel I can make the most impact with my community action?

______

What are the specific issues this community faces? ______

______

Okay, so we know WHO, WHAT and WHY it is time to identify the HOW.

Let us take some time to create 4 SMART solutions for the issue at hand.

SMART – Specific, measurable, achievable, realistic, and timely.

40 TIME MANAGEMENT Workshop Leader: Amy Skinner

Creating a To-Do List Let’s start by writing out all the tasks that you need to do for the project to get done. Then we can tag each task to a phase and note down what might be dependent on other tasks and figure out your task priorities. Sample project idea: Care packages for local shelter

First let’s start with identifying our phases – these are the sections in which you will break down your project and create a workplan for the individual tasks. For our sample project, we’re going to list out our phases and the guiding questions we will ask ourselves as we design our plan.

Phase 1: Planning

What kind of care packages am I creating? Where is this funding coming from? What is my budget going to look like? What size team do I need? Do I have a community contact at the organization I wish to support? Have I talked to the organization about what is needed? What mentors in my network might be able to support me? Phase 2: Purchasing Where can I shop? How can I involve my team in this phase? How do we divide the shopping list to save time & the number of shopping trips? How am I going to save my receipts and track my purchases?

Phase 3: Assembling

Where can I put these together? How long with the assembling take? How many people would I need to help put these care packages together?

Phase 4: Delivery How will I deliver these care packages?

Phase 5: Reporting & Wrap Up When do I need to submit my activity report to my project funder? Who can help me write my report?

41 TIME MANAGEMENT Workshop Leader: Amy Skinner

Now that you know what phases you need to break down your project into, let’s list out individual tasks and match them to phases. We can also identify what tasks are co-dependent.

NUMBER TASK PHASE DEPENDANCY

COMMUNICATING WITH CONFIDENCE Workshop Leader: Sandra Corelli

THE 6 C’s OF COMMUNICATING WITH CONFIDENCE

Connection: an ability to build connection, trust, and engagement with your audience through authenticity and warmth.

Credibility: an ability to build trust and confidence in others about your knowledge, and expertise. Your audience believes in your message.

Congruency: the ability to demonstrate a strong alignment between your message (your words) and your body language, facial expressions, gestures, tone, energy, etc.

Conviction: the ability to sound assured and demonstrate that you believe in your message.

Control: the ability to pace your message in terms of your thoughts and ideas. This is about slowing down the rate of your ideas, not the rate of your words and being comfortable with silence.

Clarity: the ability to structure your message in a way that is concise and easy for your audience to follow.

The 6’s of communication are the key ingredients you need to show up with CONFIDENCE and effectively impact and influence your audience.

CONGRUENCY: BODY LANGUAGE

Body language is the silent message we often completely ignore. To communicate effectively we need to pay attention to our own body language and at the same time, be conscious of the body language of others, to respond appropriately to what is being said non-verbally, as well as verbally.

Capture the non-verbal cues and body language tips that are most important for you below:

Do's.. Don'ts..

COMMUNICATE WITH CONFIDENCE

It’s all about what you say and how you say it.

Your job as a speaker is not to talk, it’s to make your audience think.

To communicate with impact and influence, be YOURSELF. Your audience is looking for the real you, not the perfect you. A successful presentation is defined by objectives – your goal is to ensure your audience remembers you and your message. Your audience can’t remember your message if they don’t remember you.

COMMUNICATE WITH CONFIDENCE

It’s all about what you say and how you say it.

Your job as a speaker is not to talk, it’s to make your audience think.

WHAT YOU SAY: Structuring your Message

PLANNING & PREPARING FOR YOUR PRESENTATION

Groundwork As you prepare for your presentation reflect on the following key areas before you start writing: Who is the audience? What are their expectations? What is important to them? What is the purpose or goal of sharing this message? What do I want my audience to know, think, feel, or do?

TIP: always write out your message before you start building your PowerPoint slides

INTRODUCTION The Hook Your audience decides if they want to listen to you within the first 15 seconds. Establish an immediate connection. Grab your audience’s attention with a hook: Reflect on your groundwork – what do you want your audience to think, feel, know, or do? This is your conclusion Write it as a headline You can use metaphors, a story, a quote etc.

BODY Main Points This is the core of your presentation: Share your main idea or the problem you are trying to solve Use the W5H Model - answering why/what/who/where/when & how Only answer what supports your headline/introduction – most business presentations only answer what, why and how The “Power of 3” can be very effective here

Evidence Align your evidence: Use only the evidence that supports your Main points This can include data, research, stories etc.

CLOSE Your conclusion is equally as important as the rest of your presentation: Recap your point from the introduction Share your Call to Action - are you looking for approval, feedback, a specific action you want them to take, etc.

ENGAGEMENT Practice how you will build connection and engage your audience throughout your presentation:

How and when will you engage your audience? At what point(s) in your presentation do you want to pause, change your intonation, or inflection, gesture, dial-up or dial down your energy? Identify where you will need slides – only build slides to align with your message

ANTICIPATE Before delivering your presentation anticipate and prepare: What will your audience think about your message? What questions could your audience have? What objections could your audience have?

PROPER NOTES Writing your presentation in a proper note format will ensure that you never forget anything and most importantly, you will never ramble. Below, you can see an example of a CEO’s impactful presentation pyramid converted to proper notes. Highlighted in red are tips on format and style.

Example of Proper Notes

CONTROL

HOW YOU SAY IT: Pacing your Message

An impactful delivery style is largely about pace. Your pace is made up of two components… Rate of Words and Rate of Ideas.

Rate of Words is how fast the actual words come out of your mouth and you never want to slow them down.

Rate of Ideas is how fast your thoughts, ideas, key messages, are communicated to your audience. Slowing down the pacing of your thoughts and ideas helps your audience digest your message.

Bite Technique Use the Bites technique as follows to appropriately pace your message while maintaining eye contact with your audience: Look at the audience, Look down at your notes and grab a few words, Look up, pause, and make eye contact with your audience, Repeat this process.

At first, it will feel unnatural and uncomfortable. You’ll think the pauses are lasting forever but your audience won’t; they’ll be listening, hanging to your every word and waiting in suspense for what you say next. The more you practice, the better and easier it will become.

PRACTICE ACTIVITY: OPTIMISM

A lot of people go thru life Thinking they have no control That life is just happening to them That’s not true We have a lot of more control than we realize An extraordinary capacity to… Sculpt and mold our lives The spaces we inhabit People we surround ourselves with By curating spaces…by curating circumstance We co-author our experiences We can decide…to author an afternoon by… Planning to meet in a certain place With a certain person Listening to a certain music Drinking a certain wine I decide I’m going to be optimistic Look at the beautiful In other words…the intention to be optimistic Makes me stumble upon things That make me feel more optimistic…and so on There will always be the wildcard… The circumstances you can’t plan for The unexpected Still…we can help to engineer it by the choices we make By cultivating rich social networks…by becoming connectors Where good circumstances lead to other good circumstances It requires a boldness of character If we courageously embrace the uncertainty of that freedom and exercise discerning and smart choices along the way We have the capacity to turn our lives into a work of art And…why shouldn’t we!

MANAGING STRESS & NERVES

Before Prepare and rehearse your presentation Arrive early Take 5-10 minutes on your own to gather your thoughts Power pose Set your Intention Drink lots of water Chat with participants Take a growth mindset – think positive Engage in a deep breathing exercise

During Be yourself! Keep a glass of water nearby Make eye contact with the audience Pause and remember to breathe Speak on the exhale Anchor yourself with feet shoulder, wide apart – step into your power Have fun!
