Members at Large (MAL) FY26 January Event: “Leading While Lifing”
Event Date:
January 16 @ 1:00 pm - 2:00 pm EST
There are seasons when life becomes heavier, not in abstract ways, but in real, destabilizing ones. A health issue. Caregiving for someone you love. Family upheaval. Loss. Ongoing uncertainty that doesn’t pause just because work expectations keep rising.
At the same time, professional demands rarely slow down. Deadlines remain. Decisions still need to be made. Teams, clients, and stakeholders continue to rely on you to show up steady and capable.
Leading While Lifing™ is a one-hour session for professionals who are navigating increasing responsibility at work while dealing with personal disruption — their own or someone else’s — and need a more strategic way to stay effective without running themselves into the ground.
This is not a session about balance, resilience hacks, or “doing it all.” You will leave with a clearer way of thinking about your role, your limits, and your choices during demanding seasons — so you can respond intentionally rather than operate on endurance alone.
