Getting Unstuck: Learning to Unlearn

An AVM Masterclass, with Lucy Gower

Are you having the same conversation over and over again about volunteer management, but don’t feel you are getting anywhere? Do you feel like you’re dealing with the same issues year on year, and job to job? In this online masterclass, you’ll learn to unlearn your assumptions and explore techniques to help you get unstuck, so you can move forward positively.

In the first part of the masterclass with Lucy Gower, an innovation pioneer from the world of fundraising, will share universal techniques to help us unlearn what we think we should do. In the second part, you will work in small groups on particular challenges where you’re currently feeling stuck, applying the techniques you’ve learnt to your volunteering contexts.

In this masterclass you will:

  • Discover techniques to get to the root of an issue
  • Learn how to analyse and challenge your own assumptions
  • Explore ways to unlearn assumptions and thinking patterns
  • In small groups, share with your peers your challenge, and practice some of the techniques you have learned today
  • Have opportunities to network with other volunteer managers.

Why not come with a colleague, so both of you can take your learning back to your organisation, and start to get your organisation unstuck? It's the power of two.
