Dr. Peters originally developed the Circles of Influence Model (CIM) when she was running a nonprofit and wanted to help the employees understand the systems-related challenges in their organization and draw out their ideas for solutions. Since then, she has used the CIM in several organizations to help them see how relationships, patterns of communication, and differences in decision-making power affect organizational processes and individual effectiveness. The CIM is not only useful for gathering systems information; it can also be an effective conflict management tool because building a CIM together increases understanding and empathy and promotes communication and creative problem-solving. In this workshop, participants will learn how to build a CIM that reflects their understanding of their own organization.

Colby has over 10 years of nonprofit experience in operations, development, technology and design, program development, and, most recently, organizational assessment using advanced research and analytic techniques with both quantitative and qualitative data. In addition, she has experience in policy research, development, and analysis, to include research and analysis of Maryland’s disability policies for Heather Mizeur’s gubernatorial campaign in 2014. Colby has shared her talents with many nonprofits in both professional and volunteer capacities, including the Y of Central Maryland, the Light House Shelter in Annapolis, and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Annapolis and Anne Arundel County.
Colby received her Master’s and PhD in social work for the University of Maryland. For her dissertation, Colby developed the first multi-level leadership model and assessment tool rooted in social work values and created for human service organizations.
Colby’s passion for organizational and leadership skill development stems from her belief – supported by research and experience – that with the right communication skills, the application of human service-centered principles of leadership, and some creativity and open-mindedness, non-profit organizations can realize their goals while making the most of available time and resources.
