Change isn’t happening in waves anymore — it’s happening all the time. Nonprofit teams are navigating shifting policies, funding uncertainty, evolving priorities, and internal transitions that stack on top of each other. In this session, we’ll explore practical, people-centered approaches for leading through continuous change. You’ll learn how to create clarity when conditions keep shifting, reduce unnecessary overwhelm, and support your team’s emotional and cognitive needs during periods of instability.

Participants will leave with simple, actionable tools for sensemaking, communicating, and maintaining momentum in environments where change feels like it’s the whole context.

This session might be for you or your organization if…

• You’re navigating continual or overlapping change and need practical ways to keep your team grounded and aligned.
• Your staff are experiencing fatigue or overwhelm, and you want people-centered tools to support emotional and cognitive needs.
• You feel like you’re constantly having to “re-announce” or “re-explain” changes because new developments keep emerging.
• Competing priorities or persistent tensions are slowing momentum, and you need approaches for shared understanding and decision-making.
• Your organization struggles to maintain clarity during shifting conditions and needs simple practices for stability and sensemaking.
• You want neuroscience-informed, human-centered strategies to strengthen resilience and adaptive capacity across your team.
