of each of these technical assistance services and training
seminars, as well as faculty credentials are available upon

Health
Center Management
- Leadership Effectiveness and New Strategies
(LENS). This is an on-site technical assistance service,
custom tailored to individual health center organizational
strategic planning and implementation needs. LENS is a powerful,
well tested method, which is inclusive, highly interactive
and extensively used in both the non-profit and for-profit
world. The LENS process guides the health center through
the strategic planning process and works on the premise
that the problems and their solutions do not lie outside
of the health center. Through five half day sessions, LENS
guides the health center to determine its practical vision,
analyzes the barriers to reach the vision, determines the
strategic proposals, forms task forces and develops charters
for action with route maps and benchmarks to evaluate results.
- Situational Leadership. A Migrant
Health Center's staff is its greatest asset and also its
greatest investment. Invest in your health center's increased
productivity and customer satisfaction by training your
management staff and supervisors in effective delegation
skills. Situational Leadership is a highly effective organizational
training method, which has been developed by Dr. Paul
Hersey of the Center for Leadership Studies in Escondido,
CA. Participants in this training will be able to effectively
diagnose the readiness of their subordinates and adjust
their leadership style to be effective for each situation
and identify the steps necessary to improve productivity
on the job. Health centers can obtain this workshop in
a one-day format, however to receive the full benefit
of skill development, the two-day workshop is recommended.
- Group Facilitation Training and Team
Practice. This seminar is intended to provide the
participants with the method and techniques to lead successful
participatory meetings, which will produce clear deliverables.
This method allows management and staff to discuss an
issue, learn from the past, share valuable experiences
and insights and come to some clear conclusions. The facilitator
will teach the O-R-I-D approach, which allows the group
to move though Objective data, Reflect on experiences,
Interpret shared understandings and Decide their conclusion,
proposals or next steps.
- The Power to Serve. This seminar
will guide the participants to experience the strength
of their association with each other, the interdependence
of their relationships as they strive to better address
the needs of those they serve. The benefits of this workshop
include transformed mindsets, new perspectives, and clearer
attitudes about the work that we do, the people we work
with, and the part that our work plays in the fulfillment
of our whole life.
- Communication Skills Seminar. This
service is intended to improve communications in the work
place by guiding the participants in the discussion of
issues of trust and to build a "safe place"
to work. In this workshop, time is devoted to the identification
of communication barriers and the determination of communication
guidelines and ground rules. The facilitator guides the
group in the buy-in process for the adaptation of corporate
guidelines for communication and working relationships
designed by the group. This service is best delivered
as a two-day organizational technical assistance tailored
to meet the individual needs of each Migrant Health Center
client.
- Fund Raising Seminar. This seminar
is intended to provide the participants with the nuts
and bolts of the art of fundraising. It will provide
insight to the philanthropic tradition and the three
phases of fundraising relationships. It will teach how
to build relationships with donors and how to define
the needs and objectives for your fundraising plan.
