Resilient Leadership

The five-part Resilient Leadership Certificate focuses on the critical components of resilient leadership.

In the crucible of crisis, resilient leaders are defined by who they are. Never before have we so desperately needed bold authentic leadership that inspires real energy, commitment, resilience, and resolve to move forward with hope and optimism. We look to our leaders to be an example of all that is needed now.

Module	Description
Five qualities of a leader who thrives in a crisis	Are you the kind of leader people want to follow? How leaders show up in this moment and what you stand for will be remembered for years to come. Discover the five qualities of a leader, including insights and tools to assess and strengthen your ability to not only survive—but also thrive—during a crisis.
Energize your team through uncertainty	Leading in times of uncertainty is like driving through fog. You can only see a few feet ahead of you, but you can make the whole journey that way. Find clarity and bring focus to your leadership through a simple three-part framework that can help you lead through uncertainty and strengthen your team for the long haul.
Who’s listening?	In this moment when we need to hear and be heard more than ever, we have paradoxically become worse at listening. Change the way you think about communicating with your team, family, and friends and learn how to listen well and why it matters.
Manage your mindset and emotional well-being	Have you considered how you might remain optimistic and hopeful in front of your team, no matter the situation? Leaders must continue to lead with strength and compassion. Learn how to apply tools for a resilient mindset and how you can support your team through all kinds of emotions.
Balance life, work, and overwhelm	Sometimes, it feels like work never ends, and we’re in a constant cycle of overwhelm, reducing our productivity, presence, and focus. It’s time for a reset! Carve a new path from burn out to resilience and replace unsustainable patterns with habits that build energy.
