In this professional development workshop presented at the Association for Research on Nonprofit Organizations and Voluntary Action Annual Meeting, we taught scholar-practitioner participants how to use our “resilience-informed leadership approach” in their work to improve their wellbeing and optimize their nonprofits’ financial decision-making.
Abstract: 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.
