Speaker: Magi Graziano

Magi Graziano has been reflecting on how many leaders, herself included, have been thrust into the turbulence of a global health crisis and hold an immense responsibility to protect their organizations, teams, families and themselves.

So, during this challenging time, she wants to offer help and guidance as everyone navigates these unchartered waters because what's required right now is strong leadership.

Specifically, attendees learn how to:

- Respond to adversity, stress and pressure with power and ease

- Navigate change thoughtfully and effectively

- Take ownership of their experiences and recalibrate as needed

We'll spend 45 minutes in highly impactful training and the final 15 minutes will be reserved for Q&A and connecting as colleagues to support one another.
