  • Remote (Hosted live in PST) (map)

When we are promoted, we are rarely provided training on how to handle the challenges that are coming our way. This can leave us woefully unprepared for significant shifts, ambiguity and uncertainty.

During these times, graceful leadership through change can seem impossible, but it begins with investing in our own resilience.

Learn to bounce back from setbacks to stay effective in the face of tough demands and adversity—as an individual and a team.

  • Live, remote workshop

  • 4 hours

Registration closed.

Remote format

Our remote workshops are based on the success of our in-person learning principles. Our goal is help participants learn not only from our instructors, but industry experts and peers. The workshop will be a mix of short lectures, solo reflection, and group activities. It’s a highly participatory remote workshop. Participants should be prepared to participate in a quiet space with stable wifi.

Any leader looking to build their personal resilience and support their team in investing in their own.
