Wisdom for Challenging Times
Virtual events that provide insights and resources on coping, connecting, creating, and leading
Crisis brings challenge - and also the opportunity to learn. When challenged, individuals, networks, organizations and leaders can develop their resilience, adaptability, insight, and creativity. Necessity truly is “the mother of invention.”
We know you are probably being invited to a host of on-line events these days, so we’re highlighting four of our favorites for insights and resources on coping, connecting, creating, and leading. These events are free and open to all, and they are all guided by a call to ask powerful questions and go deeper for answers in these unprecedented times:
