It’s not what happens to you, it’s how you respond to what’s happened to you. In times of continuous turbulence, resilient leaders are those who adapt, change and use challenges as opportunities to re-invent themselves. Resilient organizations are the same. In the current economy, leaders are challenged across all kinds of businesses to help their teams to prevail despite uncertainty. Leading a resilient organization takes courage, focus, and the ability to engage others in generating a purposeful path that may change in an instant. Karlin Sloan, author of Smarter, Faster, Better; Strategies for Effective, Enduring, and Fulfilled Leadership and CEO of Karlin Sloan & Company will join us to confront an issue that impacts all of us - leading through challenging times. 6:00PM: Networking 6:30-8:30PM: Presentation and Facilitated Program
