Should We Suspend KB Leadership Training?
DECISION: Kiez Burn Leadership Training Suspended
We appreciate everyone who gave their input on the Talk Thread regarding the Kiez Burn Leadership Training - given the responses we are suspending the program.
Of the 26 people who are taking part in the program, the results are as follows on the question “Should we CONTINUE the Leadership Training”:
4 people did not view the thread
9 people viewed the thread but did not voice an opinion
9 people voted an ENTHUSIASTIC YES (two of these are your facilitators)
4 people voted with Maybe/Neutral or No
To continue the program we would have liked an Enthusiastic Yes from 50% of the Leadership Training participants, which would have been 13 individuals. The response rate therefore sends a clear message to suspend the leadership program at this point. We talked a lot during the last sessions about responsibility - being able to respond - and that leadership means showing up and being there, even in difficult times. We don’t see that this group is able to respond right now and hold the space needed for growth. Without a majority input to continue the training, it does not seem worthwhile to put in the resources to rework the training program for a handful of people.
We are very grateful to all those who have participated thus far in the Leadership Program, and view the retreat weekend as a success. In case you would like to continue with your coaching circles, we would encourage you to do so, or to clearly dissolve the coaching circle so it’s transparent to all members of your group.
It is our hope that the Leadership Training continues on next year with a new group, and we will provide feedback to whomever decides to carry this on how to make the coaching circles and continued training more successful.
We hope you stay healthy,
Remy & Franzi

ORIGINAL POST FOR TRANSPARENCY
Should We Suspend the Leadership Training? Searching for Feedback - 50% Input Request.
Franzi and Remy are requesting feedback about continuing the Leadership Training
Although Kiez Burn has been postponed, the Leadership Training was started and remains as a personal journey for ourselves and not for Kiez Burn. We can still see our visions coming true even though we are facing new and ever-growing challenges.
In order for us to continue the leadership training, we will need to modify our original schedule to fit appropriate online formats. We would most likely do this via Zoom.
Currently there is the feeling that people are less engaged with continuing the Leadership training - and are having a hard time finding space for the program as they adjust to a new (and hopefully temporary) online reality. Moving the leadership training out of the in-person physical space and into an online forum is different from what we all signed up for --> therefore we want to do this check-in to see how everyone is feeling about continuing the program.
We'd like an enthusiastic YES to continue the program
Franzi and Remy (we) will work to modify the original program to be facilitated online. However, we would like an enthusiastic YES from a minimum of 50% of this group in order to put the time/energy into modifying and continuing the program. We will of course meet again in person once it has been deemed safe to do so.
Original program for reference:
28 March - Session II: How to run really good offline meetings?
19 April - Session III: Engaging Volunteers
6 May- Session IV: (ONLINE) Building Digital Communities with Hugi
TBD - Session V: Final closing of training + Community Dinner
Every 2-3 Week Cadence: Coaching Circles

Have been a bit absent the last days (sorry), but would love to still do the courses online!

For me it doesn't make sense to continue - my goals that we were tracking and working towards were all connected to Kiez Burn actually happening, and without this work taking place I'm not sure there's a point in continuing the leadership training for now... i think it makes more sense to pick this back up when we know how and at what point we continue with Kiez Burn!

YES! I don't see a reason to stop, personally see this as positive driver in uncertain times. PLUS I really loved the idea of having an ONLINE session called "how to have really great OFFLINE meetings" :D Also happy to help if there is anything I can do. Have tiiiiiiiiiiime.......

I am rather tentative on this. I feel there is less practicing on leadership happening now, given that we are suspending all activities until further notice. Therefore, there is less/no learning that we can reflect on. I have the feeling the meetings we are having now, serve a different purpose: connecting & dreaming of new initiatives.

Hi there! I'm torn back and forth. On the one hand I'd strongly prefer to do this kind of work with you in person. On the other hand it seems to be exactly what we have to learn at the moment - to go through such a process in an online remote fashion. I decided to take it as it is. So, yes!
