The Executive Director Knowledge Exchange Network Program is being delivered in partnership with Barry Jansen of JansenHR.

Are you a social impact Executive Director looking for peer support, development opportunities, and knowledge exchange? If so, United Way Winnipeg’s Executive Director (ED) Knowledge Exchange Network is the program for you!

At United Way Winnipeg, we understand that there is a need for dedicated space and time for Executive Directors to get together for mutual sharing, learning, and support. We understand that there is limited opportunity to speak openly about organizational challenges and personal struggles. This program aims to offer a safe space for Executive Directors to work through their biggest challenges.

Participants in the ED Knowledge Exchange Network will experience a blend of structured learning, interactive dialogue, opportunity to work through participant-led case studies, and peer support and networking. The ED Knowledge Exchange Network will focus on topics ranging from strategic perspectives on executive director/board relationships, organizational change management, performance management, terminations, resilience and mental health in the workplace, and/or current challenges facing your organizations. Participants will also have an opportunity to discuss how the global pandemic has impacted their organizations.

Thanks to a partnership with the Winnipeg Foundation, all participants in the ED Knowledge Exchange Network Program will have access to three, one-hour, one-on-one executive coaching with Barry Jansen. This allows executive directors to dig into challenges and topics specific to their situation or sensitive challenges that they may not share within the larger group setting.

The ED Knowledge Exchange Network will consist of a total of 8 sessions. Each 1.5-hour long session will take place in-person at United Way (580 Main Street), and generally on one day per month from October 2024 to May 2025. Specific dates for this program are noted below.
