Community Guidance For Participants
Engage in peer-led sessions to tackle real-world challenges, apply NPQ theory in context, and build meaningful professional connections.
What are communities?
Communities are peer-led, structured sessions designed to help you tackle real-world challenges, apply the NPQ theory in context, and build a strong professional network. These sessions provide a space for you to:
- Identify and address your most pressing professional challenges.
- Learn from the experiences of others and offer support to your peers.
- Strengthen your knowledge and practice based on the NPQ framework.
How do communities link to my NPQ?
Communities are integral to your learning journey, offering opportunities to deepen your understanding of the NPQ content through practical application. By discussing challenges and sharing solutions, you’ll refine your leadership skills and grow in your role.
How should I prepare for a community session?
Before each session, think about a specific professional challenge you’d like to explore with your peers. This should be a problem that’s directly relevant to your role and the NPQ framework. You may also bring a supporting document (e.g., an email or planning document) to help illustrate the issue.
A good problem for community discussion should be:
- Specific – Directly related to the NPQ framework and understandable to all participants.
- Solvable – A problem where action can lead to meaningful progress.
- Controllable – A challenge that you can influence or address within your specific role.
By following these guidelines, your community sessions will be more focused and productive, leading to actionable insights and solutions.
