Description

In a time marked by global instability, complex crises and rapid change, public service leaders are increasingly called upon to make decisions and lead teams through uncertainty. Understanding how to remain grounded, credible and effective in these conditions is critical for leadership to succeed across the federal public service.

This special event features Dr. Samantha Nutt, an award-winning humanitarian, bestselling author and internationally respected public speaker, who will explore the concept of leading through fear and uncertainty. Drawing on more than two decades of experience working in conflict zones around the world, Dr. Nutt will examine how leaders can tap into the tools needed to guide their organizations through unstable and unpredictable times.

Participants will gain valuable insight into practical leadership approaches for navigating volatility, building resilience and sustaining purpose under pressure, while also offering an opportunity to reflect on their own leadership practices.

Dr. Nutt is the founder and president of War Child Canada and War Child USA, and is a leading authority on public health, war, international aid and foreign policy. Her work has benefited millions of war-affected children globally.
