The Science and Strategy of Adapting to Change
Friday, November 15 | 9:15 – 10:15 a.m. ET
Can you reach your goals, even if things aren’t going the way you expect? Most people, and organizations, are good at setting goals and making plans, but not very good at revising those plans when things change. But that’s the real work of resilience. Backed by Courtney Clark’s data-driven research, ReVisionary Thinking offers concrete strategies for building “future readiness” and blazing a new path when the goalposts move on you.
Courtney also wants to welcome you to the INSPIRE conference via this video!
Credit union leaders from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina; League of Southeastern Credit Unions (LSCU) and Carolinas Credit Union League member credit unions; members of the Global Women’s Leadership Network (GWLN); and members of the GWLN Alabama, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, and South Carolina Sister Societies are invited to attend!
Don’t forget to submit your nominations for the 2024 INSPIRE Awards before September 24.
