Description

“It is not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the one most responsive to change.” — Charles Darwin, Scientist

As a leader, it is not always smooth sailing when you are leading others.  Sometimes, unexpected challenging situations can occur which forces a leader to rise to the occasion to become the pillar of strength for those who rely on their leadership to overcome uncertainty and fear. Great leaders find a myriad of creative ways to help their people navigate through the adversity and to keep them motivated during the crisis.

In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has wreaked havoc on many people’s lives and placed massive economic pressures on businesses, as many struggled to stay afloat during these unprecedented times. Come listen to our brilliant speakers discuss their take on resilient leadership and share insights on tactical steps to manage effectively during times of crisis, whether during this current pandemic or another unexpected crisis in the future, to help reduce the negative effects, and guide their teams and companies to persevere and move forward successfully.
