[OKC] OKCNP Membership Lunch and Learn: How Do I Manage a Team While Still Doing the Work?

Join us for quick, focused sessions on key nonprofit topics in a convenient lunchtime format. 

The Lunch and Learn series provides short trainings that fit easily into the workday. Each session highlights one concept or skill area relevant to nonprofit professionals. Topics change throughout the year, offering flexibility and variety. Participants gain useful takeaways they can apply immediately.

Leading Without Losing Yourself

Managing people is its own full-time job, except in most nonprofits, it isn't. It gets layered on top of a full plate of programs, deadlines, and deliverables. This session addresses the very real challenge of being a working manager in a resource-constrained environment, offering strategies that help you lead your team effectively without sacrificing your own productivity or your own sanity. You'll leave with a practical mindset shift and tools you can put to work the next day.

By the end of this session, participants will be able to:

• Set boundaries and communication norms that protect focused work time while remaining accessible and supportive as a manager.
• Use simple delegation and check-in structures that build team independence without creating more work for the manager.
• Recognize when management challenges are rooted in systems rather than individual performance, and respond accordingly.
