Facilitation/Keynotes
Ready by 21 is dedicated to meeting leaders where they are. Experts from the fields of education, business, government, research, nonprofits and philanthropy are available to present or facilitate at meetings or conferences, to help your leaders bring precision to their passion to improve the odds for children and youth.
Facilitation
The Ready by 21 National Partnership is available to facilitate meetings in your community or state. Facilitation will help your leaders define for your community or state what the new way of doing business looks like and what it takes to get there. Facilitators guide participants through activities that ask a series of questions designed to help leaders step out of their silos and see the larger picture. These facilitations will help your group:
- Learn the steps required to implement change (How does a community bring precision to their passion?)
- See standards for each step (In each phase of the process, what does "excellent" or "good enough" look like?)
- Discover the benefits of building new capabilities (What happens when partnerships are operating effectively and efficiently?)
- Find out what is required (What kind of training, time, technology, and funding is needed?)
- Understand the supports (How can the Ready by 21 Partnership help? What tools, services, and/or financial assistance are provided?)
