What if leadership wasn’t about pushing harder, but about leading smarter? In this interactive session for nonprofit and OST leaders, participants will move beyond traditional training into the science of sustainable leadership. Through engaging exercises, humorous video clips, and the innovative Energy Leadership™ framework, you’ll learn to reset your stress response, strengthen self-leadership, and guide your teams without burning out. Grounded in neuroscience and field realities, the session addresses urgent workforce data: the Afterschool Alliance reports that 80% of OST programs struggle with retention, and half of nonprofits cite stress and burnout as key drivers of staffing gaps that threaten program stability and youth outcomes. You’ll leave with practical, research-backed strategies you can use immediately... plus the relief and confidence that resilient leaders build resilient organizations.
