Practical strategies for leading with empathy, clarity, and connection in uncertain times

Faculty are navigating a constant state of flux—emotionally, professionally, and institutionally. As an academic leader, how do you support them in compassionate and sustainable ways?

In this insightful session, we explored how academic leaders can:

  • Respond to emotional fatigue and uncertainty with empathy
  • Support faculty navigating shifting expectations and identities
  • Build trust and connection—even in a climate of change
  • Reflect on leadership practices that promote well-being and clarity

Whether you missed the live session or want to revisit the conversation, we’ve got you covered.
