SUMMARY:Leadership From the Inside Out: A Day of Learning for Association Staff | Symposium
DESCRIPTION:Virtual Only Event \nLeadership From the Inside Out: A Day of Learning for Association Staff | Symposium \nDate: Thursday\, November 5th 2026 \nTime: 9:30 – 3:00 PM \nGreat leadership doesn’t come from your title. It shows up in how you lead yourself\, how you grow the people around you\, and how you build an organization that’s ready for what’s next. \nThis one-day virtual event brings together association professionals for practical\, honest conversations about leadership at every level. You’ll explore how coaching can become a shared practice that strengthens your whole team\, how to build a finance function that can weather transitions and grow with your organization\, and how to reconnect with the motivation that keeps you going when the work gets hard. \nCome for the sessions. Leave with ideas you can put to work the next day. \nAgenda: Each session is 1 CPE/CAE Credit \n\nKeynote: 9:30-9:50 AM \nJoanna Pineda CEO & Chief Troublemaker\, Matrix Group International\, Inc \n\nSession 1: (10:00-11:00 PM ET) Coaching Capital: How Coaching Transforms Leadership Into Advantage That Scales and Sticks \n  \nCourse Description:  \nOrganizations don’t gain lasting advantage by training leaders better—they gain it by embedding coaching as a shared practice that fuels growth\, resilience\, and sustainable performance. Many organizations invest heavily in leadership training\, yet struggle to see sustained gains in performance\, engagement\, and retention. This session reframes coaching as organizational capital—a strategic asset that converts leadership development into shared\, sustainable advantage across the organization. \n\nParticipants will explore the critical difference between developing leaders and building leadership advantage through a coaching culture. This session demonstrates how coaching—when embedded beyond individual leaders—becomes a scalable system that strengthens decision-making\, accelerates learning\, and improves how work gets done across the enterprise. Rather than positioning coaching as a “nice-to-have” leadership competency\, this session examines coaching as a value-creation mechanism—one that supports stronger execution\, higher retention\, clearer communication\, and greater adaptability in complex environments. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n– Connect coaching cultures to enterprise priorities such as performance consistency\, talent retention\, and leadership bench strength \n– Identify how coaching accelerates decision quality\, accountability\, and cross-functional collaboration \n– Identify first-step actions to embed coaching as a scalable leadership system\, vs an individual skill \n  \nSpeaker: Lori Bruhns\, CEO/President\, Lori Bruhns\, LLC. \nCAE: Executive Leadership \nNASBA: Personnel/Human Resources \n\nSession 2: (11:15-12:15 PM ET) Building a Resilient Finance Function for the Association You’re Becoming \n  \nCourse Description: \nYour association may have a succession plan for its CEO\, but what about the people who understand how the money actually moves through the organization? \n\nFinance transitions can expose vulnerabilities that have quietly developed over time: undocumented processes\, responsibilities concentrated with one person\, limited cross-training\, or a structure that no longer fits the organization’s needs. But a transition can also be an opportunity to step back and ask a bigger question: What should the finance function look like for the organization we are becoming? \nThrough a real-world association case study\, this session will help leaders look beyond simply replacing a departing employee and use succession planning as an opportunity to strengthen the finance function. We’ll explore how to uncover key-person dependencies\, assess staffing and outsourcing options\, preserve essential knowledge and controls\, and build a finance structure that can continue to evolve as the organization does. \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n-Assess your organization’s current financial management structure to identify roles\, responsibilities\, and potential vulnerabilities. \n-Compare financial management models to evaluate future options. \n-Outline a practical transition plan that supports continuity and reduces disruption. \n  \nSpeaker: Teresa L. Henderson\, CAE\, CPA\, Association Practice Leader\, Your Part-Time Controller \nCAE: Operations \nNASBA: Business Management & Organization \n\nSession 3: (12:45-1:45 PM ET) What Is It Like to Be Led by You? Taking Ownership\, Moving Through Uncertainty\, and Lifting Others \n  \nCourse Description:  \nThink about the people you trust to move things forward. How do they respond when plans change\, a project stalls\, or they don’t have the answer? How do they make you feel about your own ability to contribute? Now consider: What would the people around you say about you? \nWhether you manage a team\, coordinate stakeholders\, or just leading a project\, your everyday actions shape how others experience your leadership. This session explores how to take ownership without taking over\, ask for support without passing responsibility\, and move forward when certainty (and confidence) are in short supply. \nJoin Brendan Leehe of Higher Logic for an engaging conversation about the choices that build trust\, the discomfort that comes with growth\, and the people who make our successes possible. Through relatable examples and guided reflection\, you’ll identify ways to strengthen your own leadership while helping others succeed. \n  \n  \nLearning Objectives: \n– Demonstrate initiative and follow-through while setting clear expectations and asking for help. \n– Apply thoughtful action in response to uncertainty and recognize opportunities to grow through discomfort. \n– Assess how others experience your leadership\, including gaps between your intentions and your impact. \n– Identify ways to give meaningful credit and create opportunities for others to contribute\, grow\, and lead. \n  \nSpeaker: Brendan Leehe\, Sr. Customer Growth & Retention Manager\, Higher Logic \nCAE: Executive Leadership \nNASBA: Personal Development \n\nSession 4: (2:00-3:00 PM ET) JOLT!⚡️Your Life: Get Zapped Into Intentionality To Rediscover & Believe In Your Inner Greatness\n \nCourse Description: \nStriving for excellence amidst change\, chaos and turbulence…finding your internal motivation can oftentimes be daunting! As Association Leaders & Professionals\, serving the needs of so many others\, where do you find your motivation\, and how do you keep a smile on your face?\nHow can you leverage the concept of\, ‘the little things\, are really the BIG THINGS’ in your daily life\, both professionally and personally? This interactive workshop will provide you the opportunity to outline a Game Plan for prioritizing your motivation\, and as a result\, increasing your leadership and positive impact on others. \nLearning Objectives: \n-Identify how to find your internal motivation and inspiration\, and ultimately\, transformation. \n-Demonstrate how to intentionally channel and share daily motivation with others. \n-Apply mindset and positivity as your superpower\, leveraging a greater understanding of the power of intentionality and choice. \n  \nSpeaker: Larry Long\, Jr\, CSP\, Founder and CEO\, LLJR Enterprises \nCAE: Executive Leadership \nNASBA: Personal Development \n\n
