Why attend?
In today's environment of rapid change and sustained uncertainty, resilience has moved from soft skill to strategic imperative. The leaders who navigate disruption most effectively aren't those who avoid adversity, they're the ones who have learned to transform it.
Amanda Lindhout survived 460 days of captivity in Somalia. What she discovered about resilience, leadership, and the human capacity to lead under pressure will reframe how you think about uncertainty.
In partnership with Robert Half, we're bringing together CEOs, entrepreneurs, and senior executives who refuse to be defined by disruption, for an evening of insight and connection.
Drawing from her profound experience, enduring unimaginable hardships, and later overcoming a PTSD diagnosis, Amanda Lindhout shares her powerful framework for transforming adversity into opportunity.
Through her 4 Quadrants of Resilience, you will gain practical, actionable tools to navigate uncertainty, strengthen your teams, and lead with optimism.
- Reframe Disruption as a catalyst for growth and innovation
- Build Team Resilience: Foster personal and collective stamina during times of change
- Cultivate Trust: Create a workplace culture grounded in connection and adaptability
- Lead with Confidence: Apply practical strategies to steady your organization through uncertainty
- Drive Performance: Strengthen organizational output by investing in people-first leadership
This is an event designed for the leaders who understand that how they lead through adversity defines everything that comes after.
Following the presentation, guests will have the opportunity to engage in discussion and connect with fellow members of the PEO Leadership | Innovators Alliance community over networking and refreshments.
