Today’s leaders are navigating a world that will not slow down: economic pressure, AI disruption, geopolitical uncertainty, labor challenges, rising expectations, and constant change. While many of these forces are outside any one leader’s control, every organization is still expected to keep moving forward.
The challenge is not simply to change. It is sustained pressure. People are being asked to adapt, decide, collaborate, innovate, and perform while also feeling tired, distracted, and overwhelmed.
In this presentation, Jill Schulman shares the science of bravery, drawing from her background as a United States Marine, her work in applied positive psychology, and more than 25 years of leadership and business experience. She gives leaders practical tools to create the clarity, capacity, connection, and courage people need to keep moving forward without burning out. Attendees will learn how to respond to uncertainty, make decisions with incomplete information, support one another, and take brave action when the path is unclear.
