SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/21/24 -  Community Cats 2024: Saving Free-Roaming Cats' Lives in the Most Humane Way Possible - CalAnimals
DESCRIPTION:One of the most important work of shelters these days is serving local communities by engaging in life-saving\, humane – and legal — community cat programs (CCP) for outdoor-living cats. If you want to know about the issues\, and how to do CCPs right\, join us for a walk through the challenges\, particulars\, and legalities of community cats in California\, prepared by the San Francisco SPCA’s Shelter PALS (Shelter Policy and Legal Services) program. \nWhen it comes to community cats in California\, the sheltering industry is much stronger together. Standardizing CCP operations across the state will help people\, animals\, and local governments\, so that we can lift up communities who do not yet have them\, avoid problems in communities who already have CCPs\, and best position the movement to defend CCPs against any challenges. \nIn this 75-minute webinar\, attendees will learn the factual and legal basics of community cats\, how to support those programs with local ordinances\, and also how to sign up your shelter for free legal support to set up or shore up the CCP in your own community. \n\nPresenter: Bruce Wagman\, Attorney\, SFSPCA Shelter PALS \n\nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_p_hreMMiT-C-fSfGkhUpXA#/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/22/24 - Considering Communication: Strategies To Improve Behaviour Change in Clients  - PPG (fee applies)
DESCRIPTION:As dog trainers\, we often excel at changing dog behaviour\, but may forget the importance of communication skills. Our role as animal advocates and client advisors requires us to excel at communication too. Our ability to share our knowledge and coach new skills ultimately facilitates changing our client’s behaviour in order to change their dog’s behaviour. Good communication builds relationships\, gets buy-in\, creates passion\, develops patience and fosters motivation when our clients are feeling exhausted\, overwhelmed\, confused or frustrated. Yet\, relatively little of our education encompasses communication skills. This webinar focuses on communication strategies for obtaining a case history\, the practical use of empathy and compassion\, and providing constructive\, personalised coaching and reinforcing feedback. We will discuss the value of silence\, the use of analogies and humour\, our own body language\, and how to measure your communicative success. After all\, good communication is a skill we can develop if we are self-aware enough! Participants will learn tips for tailoring communication for each individual client to optimise outcomes for training success. \nLearning objectives: \n\nUnderstand the role communication skills play in building relationships with clients\nIdentify opportunities to provide reinforcing feedback to clients\nIdentify opportunities to provide constructive coaching to clients\n\nPresenter: Petra Edwards PhD\, BSc (Animal Behaviour) (Hons) Cert IV TAE. PCT-A\, TAGTeach Level 2 \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://www.petprofessionalguild.com/webinars-events/webinars/considering-communication-strategies-to-improve-behaviour-change-in-clients/

SUMMARY:Webinar - 5/23/24 - How to Create the Future - Nonprofit AF
DESCRIPTION:Are you ready for a radically inclusive\, radically strength-based\, and radically visionary approach to systems change? \nIn your work to create a better world\, you deserve to have approaches that actually change things. Not just changing a government policy or two\, but true systems change\, where we change the whole situation\, the whole field. \nThat requires that we FIRST change how we’re THINKING about the situation. Because only when we change the way we see things do things really change. \nJoin Nonprofit AF’s Vu Le and Creating the Future’s Hildy Gottlieb as they explore what it really takes to create the humane\, healthy\, equitable world we want to live in. \nVu and Hildy will introduce a framework that will shift your thinking from reacting incrementally to what’s wrong in our communities\, to creating what is possible. From scarcity and going it alone\, to the power of radical inclusion and Collective Enoughness – sharing and building upon each other’s strengths. \nIf you’re tired of working your tail off to achieve only incremental\, baby-step results\, come join the conversation! Registration is free. We look forward to seeing you on May 23rd. \n(Illustration by  Camila Leão for Fine ActsxOBI\, CC license 4.0) \nWEBSITE LINK:  https://us02web.zoom.us/webinar/register/WN_ms7zsNX8SRels9RGk60W7A#/
