Lead in the Water: 5+1 Strategies for Leaders in Difficult Times

Sunday April 19, 2026 2:45pm - 3:45pm MDT

Baron Shaughnessy Room (Conference Centre)

If you spend your days wrestling with an uncertain future on behalf of someone else, you're already leading. And if we're honest, you're probably doing it while trying to keep your own head above water. In this session, we'll name the truth of leadership in times marked by conflict, crisis, and complexity. We'll explore practical, sustainable ways to care for ourselves and the people we serve. And together, we'll sketch a roadmap for building communities that don't just make it through the storm â€” but learn how to move, breathe, and even thrive in the water.
