Below is a closer look at our 6-part training program and the tools that you’ll be able to customize to your unique context and change journey.
In our introductory session, you will hear Michael Quinn Patton and Jessie Sutherland in conversation as they dive into the 3 essential success factors in any change initiative. Drawing on the Belonging Matters framework and community change model as a case study, you will experience and gain insight into how a belonging lens can increase your impact and how Principles-Focused Evaluation is the secret sauce to deepen learning within your change effort and measure its impact.
We will dive into the why and how of creating evaluation instruments that result in your team deepening their learning, strengthening collaboration and increasing your reach and impact. You’ll hear Michael Quinn Patton and Jessie Sutherland share an example of how to create team evaluation instruments that use reflective practices to address the overdose crisis. A sample team reflective practice will be shared. You will have time to adapt and customize the team reflective practice to your unique context.
Most evaluation approaches miss out on valuable data from the people you are trying to serve, whether it’s students, employees, and/or under-represented community voices. In this session, Michael Quinn Patton and Jessie Sutherland will share samples of people with lived experience (PWLE) evaluation instruments that use reflective practices. They’ll demonstrate how the evaluation instruments will deepen engagement, learning and collaboration, as well as provide information to measure the impact of your change effort. A sample PWLE reflective practice will be shared. You will have time to adapt and customize this reflective practice to your unique context.

The Belonging Matters approach is an ever-relevant process in the multicultural, diverse world we are living in. It provides you with tools and a perspective to empower yourself and the people around you to create spaces where we can all be our full selves and feel welcomed.

Jessie Sutherland’s worldview skills may well be the insight that provides the greatest potential for bringing about the needed healing and reconciliation that must take place. It has the potential to provide the spark required to bring real peace, balance, and harmony…

As a society, we need to shift from a reactive mode to a prevention mode like what Belonging Matters Conversations provides. The more that we hear the voices of people impacted the most, the more respectful the process and the better the outcomes.
We need to support grassroots and community empowerment processes to achieve prevention and real change.
You will have a fresh way of understanding evaluation, measuring impact of your change effort and how to accelerate belonging. As a result, you’ll build in-house capacity (save money), be equipped to access more resources (funders want evaluation plans & instruments), and have more engaged teams.
We have been designing and implementing powerful trainings for 30+ years. You can expect to be exposed to new information, a fresh approach and be encouraged to apply what you learn in a meaningful way to gain clarity on your customized evaluation toolkit. If you’re still not convinced, we encourage you to spend some time on our Reviews page and check out any of the 100+ endorsements from people about our opportunities and the Belonging Matters framework.
In addition to the results listed above, attending this self-paced training means you not only foster in-house capacity that normally costs well over $20k in a 1:1 consulting package if you were to enlist both Jessie and Michael, as well as the tools that they created.
We recommend attending with diverse representation from your team. We suggest a decision maker (director, manager, other), someone who can implement your plan from your team (team leader, evaluator), and someone most impacted by your change initiative.
