How to Lead in Turbulent Times: Skills to be more resilient, effective, and joyful in your nonprofit work

You have worked hard through turbulent times and experienced extraordinary stress levels. To meet your needs at this moment, you will learn how to recover, restore, and rebalance a mindset for resilient leadership. You will identify sources of power that sustain you. You will practice applying new mindset skills to strengthen your programs, fundraising, staffing, boards, or whatever your challenges are. You will learn strategies to advance anti-racism and integrate it with leadership and sustaining organizational culture. You will connect and collaborate with colleagues for more innovation and planning. By the end of the morning, you will start a plan for the journey ahead to find more joy in your nonprofit work.
