RESILIENCE: HOPE, DESPAIR, AND FORGIVENESS-- The Chair Academy’s 23rd Annual International Leadership Conference
THREE TENETS OF LEADING OVER A LIFETIME

Location: Bern

Presented by Presented by: Dr. Joan McArthur-Blair, Co-President, Cockell McArthur-Blair Consulting, Stillwater
Lake, Nova Scotia, Canada

Resilience is one of the most powerful aspects of leading over a lifetime. Join me in a highly interactive session
focusing on three of the key tenets of resilience “hope, despair and forgiveness“ and how a deep
understanding of these tenets can sustain us as leaders and open us to lifting up the leadership of others.
Understanding and working with these tenets can focus our generative power; allow us the rise again from the
dark moments of despair; and open our hearts to the role of forgiveness in being resilient for ourselves and for
our organizations.
