Caution: Do not take this advice. Everything here comes from people still figuring it out, making mistakes, and occasionally hiding in the supply closet. Middle management during polycrisis means navigating impossible expectations from above while supporting exhausted teams below. This session embraces the mess and understanding that authentic leadership isn't about having answers, but about showing up honestly when everything is on fire. We'll talk about showing up authentically when you don't have solutions, supporting others while barely keeping it together yourself, and why pretending everything is fine helps no one. Come ready for honest conversation about what it actually takes to lead with humanity during genuinely difficult times.
