"You can't lead others through chaos if you can't lead yourself through your own."

This truth cuts right to the heart of resilient leadership. In this interactive session, Dr. Will Samson guides us through understanding "the mess inside" – the stories, emotions, and patterns that shape how we show up as leaders – and transforms it from invisible baggage into your training ground for resilient intelligence.

Through meaningful table discussions and peer-shared strategies, you'll explore how your internal narratives and emotions actually shape your leadership effectiveness. This isn't therapy – it's practical self-leadership that builds resilience from the inside out.

What to expect?

• Fresh perspective on navigating the internal challenges of leadership
• Language and tools for exploring your "mess" without judgment
• Meaningful table discussions with fellow leaders facing similar challenges
• Peer-shared strategies you can adapt to your own leadership style
• A simple framework for ongoing internal self-leadership

Takeaways

• Emotional Leadership Awareness - Understanding how internal narratives and emotions shape your leadership effectiveness
• Non-Judgmental Exploration Tools - Language and frameworks for exploring internal challenges without self-criticism
• Resilient Self-Leadership Framework - A simple, practical system for ongoing internal leadership development
• Peer Strategy Exchange - Proven strategies from fellow leaders that you can adapt to your own style

Everyone! Whether you're leading in for-profit, non-profit, academia, community organizations, or entrepreneurship -- or simply curious about leadership -- you're welcomed to join us.

Strengthening Our Professional Ecosystem

Summer break is over and class is back in session! We are dedicating this session as an opportunity to check-in with our Fellow Fractional Folks:

• Hard to believe it's been almost 1yr since Helene... what affects has this had on you and your business?
• Q4 is quickly approaching, what's your Q4 wrap-up look like?
• Resource session for any Needs or Leads, what 'cha got?

This is a structured Ask/Offer exchange where we can share specific expertise, resources, or collaboration opportunities. This is not about how to start a fractional business, or about basic lead generation - rather, we want to identify meaningful ways to enhance our collective impact and create sophisticated professional partnerships.

Please come prepared to share:

• One specific area of expertise you can offer to fellow fractionals
• One resource or capability you're seeking to enhance your practice
• Thoughts on how we might structure ongoing collaboration, either as smaller groups or as a whole

Of note: We will be hosting a "Fractional Curious" MeetUp in October. With several Fractional Execs speaking on their experiences and some Q&A. More details to come!
