THE FUTURE
OF LEADERSHIP

Navigating a Changing World with Compassion, Courage, and Connection

Thriving in today’s world is no easy challenge. Old models and myths about leadership and loyalty just don’t work. Leaders need new strategies for building authentic trust, inclusive cultures, and resilience in navigating major change and uncertainty.

As an executive leadership educator known for her work with some of the world’s greatest organizational and thought leaders, Anne Harbison helps leaders move from executing to creating; from being the smartest person in the room to having the most curious questions, from solving problems to generating possibilities, from clarifying a shared strategy to building a shared identity. And most important – to not go it alone.

As an inspiring key-note speaker and workshop leader, Anne brings energy and expertise to any gathering. Her most notable events address the keys to navigating change, equipping leaders in building resilient teams, and thriving through life's big transitions.  Always customized, always engaging and interactive, audiences leave more inspired, connected, and ready for action.

Thousands of Fortune 500 employees have been touched by her coaching, counsel, and education.

teams

Many groups call themselves teams, but they lack the shared identity, influence and impact that true teams deliver. Through executive coaching, senior leader retreats, workshops, and facilitated meetings, groups shift from "me" to "we" with outstanding results.

How Can We Thrive in Difficult Times?

In January 2020, I took a sabbatical to write a book that revealed how talented leaders overcame hardship and set-backs. Based on original research I conducted as a doctoral student at Harvard, it offers practical, but potentially life-changing, strategies for transforming hardships into true wisdom, resilience, and hope.As the world’s foundations were shaken by COVID and social unrest, this writing became more urgent — and personal - for me. Never Wastes a Crisis shares both advice for traveling the road from set-backs to success, as well as my very personal story of heartache and healing.
