• Regenerative Resilience: Thriving During Uncertainty

  According to futurist Elatia Abate, the pandemic was just the training wheels version of the disruption that is coming. Yet for many of us, we barely survived the past few years of turbulence and change. So how can we navigate the future that is coming? According to Elatia, it’s possible not only to survive but also thrive if we’re willing to trade in the constraints of antiquated leadership forms, models, and strategies and instead embody the practices that will lead to a more empowered future—the practices that built her new practical, hands-on program Regenerative Resilience.
