The pandemic and rapid expansion nearly capsized Coburn Place 2021-2022. The road from a fractured culture far beyond its capacity with poor survivor outcomes and opaque finances has been arduous but incredibly rewarding. Hear honest talk from three seasoned leaders who worked together and with the whole Coburn Place team to apply our vision “to illuminate a path forward to restore hope and promote healing” to the organization itself. This session will discuss organizational trauma and the recovery process, departmental siloing, how the leadership team found its footing to become “the First Team,” and promoted real cross-department collaboration.  We will drill down on the specifics of changing staff culture through values-driven behaviors. We will discuss the role of leaders having self-awareness and learning to share power. We will also include brief summaries of how we have built staff acumen and cooperation around program data, understanding grants, fundraising, and the organization’s finances.  .

This session welcomes attendees who identify as Black, Indigenous, and or People of Color (BIPOC) to learn from a panel of diverse professionals as they share how their identities influence their pathways in life. Attendees and panelist will explore what it takes to actualize authenticity, wellness, and resiliency in their lives and careers. This interactive session offers an opportunity to connect, build community, and share experiences and perspectives in a way that honors our unique journeys. 

While we deeply appreciate all allies and those who support BIPOC communities, this space is intended exclusively for those who identify as BIPOC (non-White). Our aim is to provide a space where participants can feel completely safe and understood based on shared cultural experiences. We encourage our non-BIPOC friends and supporters to explore other ways of showing solidarity and allyship, and we’re happy to suggest spaces where those conversations can happen. Thank you for understanding and for your continued support. Together, we will work towards innovating supportive spaces.
