Staying hopeful during challenging times can be tough. Based on the presenter’s personal and professional experience, this session will address recent ordeals that tested him and the struggles he encountered. Inspired by his conversation with the “Leading Through Crisis” panel for the recently published book, Global Exchange: Dialogues to Advance Education, we will discuss personal and institutional crises, what can be learned from them, and how to continue moving forward in the face of adversity. Based on a crisis typology utilizing personal, institutional, national, and global perspectives, we will share actionable items we can all use to weather the storm and help navigate complex crises. This session is highly interactive and focuses on interpersonal learning. Please be prepared to briefly share your own crisis response story.
