Co-Creating Authentic & Resilient Leadership: Smartest Practices for Collective Growth and Belonging

Leadership isn’t about best practices or top-down empowerment, it’s about co-creating spaces where people recognize and activate the power they already hold. This workshop invites Worcester’s nonprofit leaders to explore smartest practices that foster belonging, mutual care, and deep reflection across leadership spaces, internally and externally, even intergenerationally. By centering resilience and diverse lived experiences, we can ensure that leadership development is relational, liberatory, and community-rooted. Together, we’ll examine how leaders can build sustainable, inclusive ecosystems that reflect their values and lived experiences, without forcing prescriptive solutions. so that Worcester continues to grow with the strength of its people and partnerships.
