Profiles in Resilient Leadership
Leadership is often defined in moments of crisis—when vision, resilience, and compassion are tested most deeply.
Resilient leadership is revealed in how we support ourselves, and critically our stakeholders, through crisis.
In this series, I invite leaders to share how they navigated defining challenges, supported the resilience of their stakeholders, and discovered new dimensions of their own leadership.
These profiles illuminate not just strategies, but the human strength, reflection, and courage that sustain leaders and their stakeholders through adversity.

“I call them the 5Cs of leading during crisis: communication, clarity, confidence, conflict resolution, and compassion.”

“It helps me to have a genuine curiosity for how people got to the position they’re expressing, even when it’s a really different world view from my own.”
Han Kang - Former U.S. Diplomat
“We are each ‘becoming’. I am on this journey of learning and growing, and invite anyone who wants to join me.”
