Couch Chat - CEOs

Couch Chats are facilitator-led conversations in which you engage and connect with your peers virtually to discuss the changing business environment and association dynamics. Couch chats are not like traditional education sessions where you just "listen", but rather, we encourage you to actively participate in the conversations. If you have questions, challenges, or successes to discuss, please join us!

Being a Successful Leader in Today’s Environment
Right now is a very unique time to be an association leader. Nimble leaders strive to bridge the gap between the current environment and the inevitable shifts in business dynamics, hybrid offices, workforce volatility, and other disruptions. In addition, leaders must carefully navigate ESG, diversity and inclusion and mental wellness – all while building a thriving organization that meets member demands through a variety of products, services and offerings.

Join this high level discussion designed for association leaders to come together to share insights, concerns, and observations on what it takes to be a successful leader in today’s environment.

Come ready to discuss timely topics including but not limited to:

• What is Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) exactly and what should your association be doing about it?
• How can organizations attract and retaining talent, and build a supportive and collaborative culture with a remote workforce?
• What does it mean to lead in a time that requires essential skills such as resilience, empathy, digital fluency, and inclusive communications?
  
  

In a time where leaders are charged with needing an increased focus on environmental and social issues, equity, inclusion, employee well-being, workforce management and community impact – collaborative conversations like these are needed now more than ever.
