Thriving Despite Stressors: Evolving Leadership at the 2024 CANA Symposium
WHEELING, IL— The world is volatile, uncertain, complex, and ambiguous. How we navigate that reality is important for ourselves and our teams. This February, Janice Honeycutt Hering, Founder and CEO of Firecracker Leadership, shares the tools to deal with the realities of our current work environments. Join us and learn to thrive at the Cremation Association of North America’s 2024 Symposium in Las Vegas, Nevada.
Understanding how we react and respond to stressors is key to successfully leading a team in today’s ever-changing environment. Janice Honeycutt Hering is a confident performance-driven leader, coach and trainer. Her 30+-year track record of solid accomplishments in organizational change, leadership development and team effectiveness means she’ll communicate a masterful understanding of the challenges we are facing post-pandemic and the added expectations to lead well even when we don’t know the clear path forward.
“Those moments of uncertainty, awkwardness, or vulnerability are often the staging ground for personal and professional breakthroughs,” explains Janice. “Leaning into discomfort might mean facing rejection, acknowledging your limitations, or confronting long-held fears. However, it’s precisely through these experiences that you cultivate resilience, build character, and discover untapped reservoirs of strength.” She’ll provide key insights into your tendencies and what your team members need so you can walk away with tools to use immediately in your work and personal lives.
