It’s time for equitable access to support during workplace transitions. It’s time for accountability in our organizations.

Speaking topics include:

  • Most nonprofits treat departures as emergencies rather than opportunities—this session equips leaders with frameworks to transform exits into strategic transitions that strengthen rather than destabilize your organization.

  • Turnover is inevitable, but organizational trauma isn't—learn concrete practices that both reduce unnecessary departures and build systems that actually thrive through necessary transitions.

  • When the folks in your leadership roles leave, do all of their relationships and institutional wisdom walk out the door with them? This session provides practical tools to capture and transfer critical knowledge before it's too late.

  • Every initiative, hire, and strategic plan should include its own succession strategy—discover how embedding transition planning into daily operations creates sustainable impact rather than personality-dependent programs.

  • Organizational values aren't wall art—they're the boundaries that guide decision-making through uncertainty, providing stability when leadership changes and clarity when everything else feels chaotic.

  • Shared power isn't just an equity ideal—it's a succession planning strategy that ensures your organization can continue its mission regardless of who's in the executive director chair.
