The Montana Institute is kicking off 2021 with three remote training opportunities that will help you grow protective factors, promote the positive -- even during a pandemic -- and build leadership skills for the work that lies ahead. We hope you'll join us for one, two, or all three. Or If you want customized consultation, we can “travel” to deliver training and support! Since March, the TMI Training Team has connected with health promotion leaders in California, Colorado, Florida, Kansas, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Texas, and Washington to support their work changing norms, improving health, and transforming community cultures.  

Workshop 1: Introduction to Positive Community Norms

This two-part, four-hour training will renew your spirit and bring fresh energy to your work. Join us to learn about this powerful framework for reducing harm, improving health and strengthening community cultures. We will unpack the power of the positive approach and provide you with effective communication skills that you can put to use immediately. Great for newcomers as well as those looking for an updated overview.

  • TIMING: January 14th and 15th from 11:30 to 1:30 CT

  • COST: $175

Workshop 2: Practicing the Science of the Positive in Challenging Times

What does positive messaging look like during a global pandemic? Can we apply Positive Community Norms to messaging about COVID19? How can we continue messaging about anything else? 

This team-led series of five virtual workshops will address these questions and show how the Science of the Positive can be a touchstone for public health practitioners during difficult and confusing times. No previous experience is necessary, but we recommend that newcomers also register for the Introduction to Positive Community Norms. 

  • TIMING: January 21 & 28, and February 4, 11 & 18 from 11:30 to 1:30 CT

  • COST: $375/person

Workshop 3: Crafting Your Transformational Leadership Narrative

Expand your leadership capacity in this interactive, introspective, and inspirational workshop. Before the sessions begin, you’ll take our innovative Science of the Positive Transformational Leadership Assessment and receive a personalized Leadership Profile based on your results. During the live workshop, you will use a creative mix of individual and group storytelling exercises to construct a personal leadership narrative that will increase your clarity, effectiveness, and confidence as a community leader and change-maker. 

  • TIMING: Tuesday, March 23 from 1:00 to 4:00pm CT & Wednesday, March 24 from 11:00 to 2:00 pm CT

  • COST: $225/person, including assessment & all materials. Enrollment limited.
