How can resilience help improve wellbeing and optimize financial decision-making?

This hands-on workshop introduces our interdisciplinary, Resilience-Informed Leadership (RIL) approach. Nonprofits miss opportunities when they assume only constituents–not

leadership–have trauma; indeed, trauma has many sources (e.g., sports injuries, COVID stress) and types (i.e., acute, chronic, complex). It can lead to lowered executive brain function (e.g., brain fog, slow processing), which is critical for making sound financial decisions for advancing an organization’s mission. RIL empowers leaders to turn trauma into a resource. We illustrate our approach with a multimedia case (Lassu & O’Steen, forthcoming), provide neuroscience-based tools to improve decision-making, and provide free access to our RIL Certification Course.
