Date:

Time:
2:00 PM - 5:00 PM CDT
Event Description:
Disruption is all around us and it is here to stay. Ensuring nonprofit organizations, its leaders and the systems in which they operate are equipped to navigate and persist through ever evolving circumstances is crucial for the overall well-being and vitality of our community. In an age of connected volatility and change, the following are increasingly urgent questions for the nonprofit sector and our community to consider:
• What are the practices and habits of personal resilience, and how do we encourage them?
• How does an organization’s culture amplify, or limit, the resilience of its people?
• How do organizations recover, persist or even thrive amid disruption?
• And how can we bolster the resilience of the many interconnected systems on which we depend?
In this half-day interactive dialogue, built for senior and emerging leaders of nonprofit organizations, Andrew Zolli, co-author of Resilience: Why Things Bounce Back, and international speaker, leads participants through these topics – presenting frameworks, actionable strategies, new scientific findings, and real-world lessons of resilience, drawn from years of pioneering research. Through presentation, conversation, and group exercise, this dialogue explores resilience at three, interconnected levels – the individual, the organizational, and the systemic. Across each of these levels, we identify recurring themes and practical principles of building the resilience of your people and your nonprofit organization.
