Your Leadership Story: Discover It. Shape It. Share It. (NEW!) Presenter: Jyotsna (Jyo) Maan 2-hour webinar | $51.80 June 12, 2025, from 1:00-3:00 PM Eastern
In conservation, we often lead with data, policy, and science—but it's stories that move hearts, shift mindsets, and build trust.
In this lively and interactive 2-hour webinar, we’ll explore how storytelling isn't just a leadership skill—it's your superpower. Whether you see yourself as a seasoned communicator or a quiet leader, you’ll learn to shape compelling stories that inspire action, build trust, and connect across differences.
We'll dive into the magic of the Hero’s Journey, play with Pixar’s storytelling secrets, and practice sharing stories in a supportive space. Come ready to laugh, reflect, connect—and discover that you’ve been a storyteller all along.
You don’t need slides. You don’t need polish. Just your story.
By the end of the webinar, you will: - Understand the role of storytelling as a leadership skill in conservation work
- Gain new insights into your own leadership journey through the Hero’s Journey
- Learn to craft compelling narratives using the Hero’s Journey and Pixar’s story formula

Chaordic Leadership: Leading in the Space Between Chaos and Order (NEW!) Presenter: Jyotsna (Jyo) Maan 2-hour webinar | $51.80 June 25, 2025, from 1:00-3:00 PM Eastern
Conservation work is evolving rapidly. Leaders today are expected to navigate not only environmental challenges but also deep social shifts and systemic complexity. It’s clear we need new ways of leading—ways that are more adaptive, purpose-driven, and aligned with the interconnected nature of the work itself.
Chaordic Leadership offers one such path. Coined by Dee Hock, founder of Visa, the term “chaordic” blends chaos and order to describe leadership that thrives in the fertile space between the two. It’s a way of leading that values emergence over control, shared purpose over rigid plans, and wholeness over perfection.
This 2-hour introductory webinar is a reflective learning experience—designed not to teach tools or techniques, but to help you explore the philosophy of Chaordic Leadership and whether it resonates with how you already show up (or want to show up) as a leader.
In this session, you’ll: - Discover the origins and core ideas behind Chaordic Leadership
- Explore the tension between chaos and order—and why the in-between space is where innovation happens
- Reflect on your personal leadership experiences and how they align with chaordic principles
- Connect with others navigating similar complexity in conservation work
- Be invited to consider whether this is a leadership path you want to explore more deeply
This session is for you if: - You’ve sensed the limits of top-down control or rigid frameworks in your leadership work
- You’re looking for a leadership approach that honors complexity, relationships, and shared purpose
- You’re curious about finding language and community around a way of leading that already feels natural to you
- You want to lead with more adaptability, integrity, and resilience—without burning out
No practices. No pressure. Just a pause to ask: What kind of leader am I becoming? ...................................................................................................
