Resilient Leadership: Conversations for Challenging Times

Are you struggling to lead through today’s constant uncertainty—shifting priorities, unpredictable funding, and nonstop change? Are you overwhelmed by how to keep your team engaged and motivated? Are you finding it harder to make decisions with confidence?

Come chat with fellow people managers, senior leaders, and decision-makers navigating these same challenges in nonprofits, philanthropies, and state agencies. This one-hour conversation offers a safe space to gain new perspective on adaptive strategies, decision-making, and supporting your team through turbulent times.


The 4/29 event is now full, but we are considering additional offerings so please fill out this form and we will email you when an additional date is open for registration.
