    Microaggressions are subtle verbal or behavioral slights and indignities based on membership in a social group. They are a form of discrimination and are significantly harmful to the individuals and groups targeted and the organization as a whole even though they are sometimes unintentional or presented in a joking way.

    The goal of Microaggression Prevention and Response Training is to help build awareness of the common types of identity-based microaggressions and offer methods for effective early intervention and response. Skillful intervention in response to bias at the microaggression level can have the effect of shifting group culture and preventing escalation into more overt verbal and physical harassment.

    This 2-hour training will explore types and examples of microaggressions, barriers to intervention, elements of safety assessment, and the 6 Ds of intervention: Direct, De-escalate, Distract, Delegate, Delay, and Document. Participants will also gain tools for managing adrenalin in stressful situations, ways of using facial expression, body language and voice in effective communication, and practice interventions in real scenarios which have impacted people across the state. Each training uses verbal and physical activities, discussion, and small group work to engage participants and create a supportive and creative learning environment.

    Join us at our signature annual event – Trade Day 2024 – for an opening reception, keynote presentation, interactive panel discussion, networking session, and inspiring annual awards luncheon.

    Our theme this year is “Evolution: The Future of Maine’s Heritage Industries.” For centuries, our state’s economic growth and global competitiveness derived from Maine’s rich natural resources and hardworking ingenuity in the agriculture, forest products, seafood, ship building, and textile industries.

    While these heritage industries have experienced significant changes over the last two decades through advances in manufacturing processes and improved technology, a recent acceleration of innovation is making a splash in global markets, developing new products such as clothing and packaging made from forest products and heat-resistant textiles in space.

    At Trade Day 2024, our keynote speaker and expert panel will explore and discuss current and future opportunities for Maine businesses.

    Organization’s have traditionally tracked their health by looking at their finances and sometimes a version of net promoter scores. While these are important benchmarks for success, they are incomplete. In this session we’ll discuss how to build a customized, meaningful dashboard to holistically track your organization’s health, significantly broadening your definition of success and ensuring you are tracking and discussing what matters most. You’ll learn how to capture your stakeholder impact and begin defining your aspirations to add more value to your stakeholders in the future.

    This program is for individuals but can also be offered for your team. If you are interested, contact us.

    Are you tasked with engaging and inspiring audiences?
    Do people naturally look to you for guidance?
    Are you effective at bringing people together?
    Are you open to learning from others?
    Are you willing to make mistakes?

    In a time of unprecedented distraction and changing dynamics in the places we live and work, today's leaders are tasked with making meaningful connections throughout their days. Connections that inspire in some way – whether it’s a team meeting, a spontaneous networking opportunity or a donor presentation. Leaders need to connect in ways that are authentic and compelling.

    Over two days, far away from the demands of daily work, in a quiet and supportive learning environment with like-minded peers, participants will gain the knowledge, confidence and self-understanding necessary to ground their ongoing development as authentic leaders.

    Participants will:
    -Examine their understanding of leadership
    -Articulate their passion for the work they do
    -Develop skills to build trust and connect with others
    -Practice telling stories to inspire others to take action
    -Identify situations where these lessons can be practiced

    About the Presenter
    Beth McCarthy (https://www.linkedin.com/in/emmconsulting/) has spent 20+ years helping people make their messages relevant to the people they serve. She engages people in dialog around what it means to be a human leader (and why this matters) and believes that everyone has a story to tell (and as leaders, it’s our responsibility to both tell stories that get beneath the surface and gather these stories from others – which in aggregate greatly influence the decisions we need to make).

    Two day retreat is $600 for MANP members, and $1200 for nonmembers
