What keeps non-profit CEOs going when the pressure never seems to stop?
In this episode, we sit down with leadership researcher and resilience expert Dr Alison Taylor to explore one of the most critical capabilities for today's nonprofit leaders: resilience.
From funding uncertainty and workforce shortages to regulatory reform, board expectations and growing community demand, not for profit CEOs are leading in an environment where constant change has become the norm.
Dr Taylor explains why resilience is something you're born with AND a leadership capability that can be intentionally developed. Together, we unpack the practical habits, mindsets and systems that help leaders remain effective, make better decisions under pressure and sustain their wellbeing over the long term.
Whether you're a CEO, executive or emerging leader, this conversation offers practical strategies to move beyond survival mode and build resilience that lasts.
In this episode, we discuss:
- Why resilience is a capability, not just a personality trait
- The four pillars of leadership resilience
- How to build and protect your resilience reserves
- The role of trust in reducing leadership stress
- How to build a strong support network as a leader
- Moving from reactive leadership to intentional resilience
- Why the skills that get you into a CEO role aren't always the ones that sustain you
