Building Our Leadership Resilience for Personal and Cultural Transformation
As leaders driven by the urgency of the need to constantly do more to address the dire challenges our communities face, how do we avoid burnout? How do we learn to actually embody our purpose and values and personally model the cultural shifts needed for wider societal transformation? In this workshop we will discover tools designed to strengthen our “personal ecology” and our leadership compass. It includes a framework that can be applied at the scales of self, organizations, and coalitions in ways that unleash the power of community. In this interactive session, we will draw from highly effective practices developed by the grassroots non-profit Daily Acts (dailyacts.org) to increase our collective leadership resilience during times of unrest and crisis by holding reverence in our hearts, reclaiming our power, and nurturing our relations. Facilitated by Nichole Warwick, Kerry Fugett and Trathen Heckman.
December 12th | 2:00 pm to 3:30 pm
