How does fear shape your decisions and strategy? This workshop will help identify the survival patterns that surface during periods of uncertainty and narrow what feels possible. Funders can learn to identify and shift these reflexes and use that awareness to move from coping to improving and transforming, and ultimately to creating the new.
In this hands-on workshop, you will practice noticing how fear steers your work, pausing long enough to choose intention over instinct, and cultivating the conditions for thoughtful risk-taking and experimentation to flourish. For lean funders, this work is especially powerful: the clearer and more grounded your relationship to fear, the more confidently you can deploy your resources, support bold ideas, and partner in ways that expand – not constrain – what’s possible.
A recording of this program will be available to those who register.
