Conservation Leaders Confluence: Leading Beyond - NEW!!
Presenter: Tabbi Kinion
7, 1-hour webinars | $220
Every Thursday from 1:00-2:00 PM Eastern starting on July 23
Strategic leadership for conservation managers who are ready to stop figuring it out alone
You didn't become a manager to do paperwork and attend meetings. You became one because you care about the resource, you believe in the people doing the work, and somewhere along the way, someone saw enough in you to put you in charge.
And then reality hit.
Suddenly, you're sitting across from a wildlife commissioner with very different priorities than your biologists. You're explaining to your team why the science-based recommendation didn't survive the political process. You're navigating a predator management controversy while your field staff gets confronted at the gas station.
Nobody handed you a manual for this.
Conservation Leaders Confluence: Leading Beyond is the series that should have existed on day one of your management career. Seven sessions built for the managers in the middle. Leading up, leading down, and doing the work in between.
This is where that gap closes.
The Room Where Decisions Get Made - Working with Boards, Commissions, and Elected Officials
You know the science. They have the votes. We'll use AFWA/WMI guides to build your approach and give you practical tools for walking into commission meetings, public hearings, and officials' offices and actually moving the needle.
Making the Call When There's No Perfect Answer - Strategic Decision-Making in Conservation Leadership
The data says one thing. The agency says another. The politics say something else. We'll dig into frameworks for making sound decisions when information is incomplete and the stakes are real, and how to bring your team with you when the biological right answer didn't win.
Leading When Everyone's Watching - Navigating Conservation Controversies and Public Scrutiny
When the headlines are loud and your field staff is fielding hard questions at the trailhead, how do you keep your team focused and their morale intact? This session gives you and your people the tools to handle scrutiny with confidence instead of just surviving it.
Conservation's Funding Future Is Everyone's Problem - R3 and the Modern Conservation Leader's Role
Recruitment, Retention, and Reactivation isn't just the coordinator's job. It's the long-term funding story of your entire agency. We'll explore how you bridge the gap between traditional biological work and the urgent need to engage new audiences, and why the future of conservation depends on leaders who get this.
The Hardest Part of Change Isn't the Change - Leading People Through Transitions That Weren't Their Idea
"That's the way we've always done it" isn't stubbornness. It's human nature. We'll explore why change feels threatening even when it's necessary, and how you become the translator your team needs to move through new technology, shifting priorities, and restructuring without losing their drive or their trust in you.
Your Best Leadership Tool Might Be One You Haven't Used Yet - AI in Conservation Leadership
This isn't about replacing what you do. It's about reclaiming the time that administrative weight has stolen from you. A practical, no-hype look at how AI can reduce the drudgery and give you more bandwidth for what actually matters: leading your team.
The Leader Who Stays - Sustaining Yourself for the Long Haul
Compassion fatigue is real. Public service burnout is real. This final session is about you. How do you protect the thing that made you good at this job in the first place? We'll talk about peer networks, sustainable practices, and how to build a career that keeps you effective and engaged for the long haul.
This series is for you if:
- You're a manager in the middle, leading up, leading down, and holding everything together in between
- You've felt the gap between what you were trained to do and what the job actually requires
- You're navigating real pressure, political, public, and organizational, without a roadmap
- You want to lead well, not just survive
