Coaching Yourself through a Resilient Transition

Leadership coach and educator Kate Ebner specializes in helping leaders navigate complex, rapidly changing times.  Her transformational work is rooted in more than two decades of helping leaders and teams realize their visions. Kate will explore how to keep your dignity, maintain authenticity, and regain your footing in a time with many factors that seem beyond control.  She will provide a useful tool for making sense of the volatile, uncertain, chaotic, and ambiguous (VUCA), helping you orient yourself productively so that you can look forward, regain purpose, and build your path.  You will learn practical tips and strategies that are immediately useful --  as well as a renewed sense of confidence in your ability to navigate change.
