2022: That’s a Wrap!

Year End Report Reflects Success

2022 has proven to be a rich and full year for the Fieldstone Leadership Network San Diego.  During the past year, we hosted Learning Groups, Leadership Reading Groups and a Learning Circle.  We facilitated multiple offerings of The Equity Journey and one offering of Coaching as a Leadership Tool, as well as Creative Encounters by Fieldstone for a local nonprofit’s staff and board of directors.  We coached a dozen nonprofit leaders and trained 10 nonprofit leaders as Fieldstone coaches. We provided four Clare Rose Sabbaticals.   Through our survey instruments we learned that across all of our programs:

• 100% would recommend our programs to others
• 98% say the programs met or exceeded their expectations
• 90% would like to continue to learn with FLNSD

 

We continue to use data to judge the alignment of our strategy against our results.  With a focus on Strengthening Leaders, Building Organization Capacity and Sustaining a Vibrant Network, we evaluate each program on its ability to impact each of these focus areas in a positive and meaningful way.

In 2022, we learned:

 

Leaders Strengthened – we served 178 individuals this year.

• 100% of program participants say they developed as a leader through our programs
  • 77% developed/further developed systemic thinking in their leadership practice
  • 78% increased their appreciation for interdisciplinary/peer learning
  • 98% addressed a significant problem or challenge
  • 93% strengthened their ability to solve problems as a leader

 

Organizations Capacity Increased – we served leaders from 106 different organizations

• 99% of participants report an increase in the capacity/effectiveness of their organization
  • 55% strengthened relationships with board / improved board governance
  • 63% developed strategies to manage staff more effectively
  • 53% increased my or my organization’s collaboration with other leaders/organizations

Networks Developed and Relationships Created

• 94% saw impacts to their professional network
  • 85% gained valuable insights form leaders outside their organizations’ subsector
  • 78% offered and/or received resources from other nonprofit leaders
  • 66% increased the overall diversity of their networks, 58% increased their network multi-generationally
