Description

Change comes in waves: leadership transitions, funding shifts, staff turnover, community crises. The question isn't whether the river is moving. It's whether you're leading your organization through it with clarity and intention - or just reacting to the current.

Gerianne Puskas brings neuroscience and real-world leadership experience into a practical, engaging conversation about what genuine organizational resilience looks like. You'll walk away knowing how chronic stress quietly affects leadership decision-making, how to honestly assess your own resilience patterns, and how to shift into the kind of grounded, steady leadership that keeps your people moving forward, even when the water gets rough.

This isn't a pep talk. It's a framework, a self-assessment, and strategies you can put to work the very next day.
