Your Presenters

If you work in the human service field and supervise staff, you know the challenges that come with leadership. Leading teams can be difficult and leading teams during times of change or crisis can feel overwhelming. The science of resilience helps us to understand what skills, behaviors and attitudes are essential to navigate challenges and lead in ways that help our teams “bounce back” and move forward.

Individual leaders, leadership teams and aspiring leaders are invited to join Nefertiti B. Poyner, Ed.D., and Rachel Wagner, MSW, as they deliver a unique six-part webinar-based professional development experience focusing on resilient leadership. During this program, participants will develop resilient leadership abilities using a process of self-assessment and intentional reflective practices. The program will foster skills and competencies in leaders who in turn can foster a culture of resilience amongst those they serve.

Participants of the Resilient Leadership Online Training Program will:

• Complete a self-assessment using the Devereux Resilient Leadership Survey (DERLS), a research-based tool that focuses a leader’s attention to four important protective factor areas, including: Relationships, Internal Beliefs, Initiative and Self-Control
• Participate in six, interactive webinar sessions (each session will be recorded and accessible if scheduling conflicts cause a participant to miss the live delivery)
• Implement a personalized action plan based on the results of their DERLS to enhance their leadership practices
• Receive inspirational and motivational communications from the training facilitators throughout the duration of the program

This innovative experience will offer participants an opportunity to engage with an online learning community of fellow leaders, as well as an opportunity to take time on their own in between sessions to pause, reflect and focus on the resilient leadership topics presented.
