In the nonprofit sector today, burnout is no longer an exception, it’s the norm.

Too many mission-driven leaders are exhausted, isolated, and overwhelmed by challenges that standard leadership training fails to address. 

They’re not hungry for more content, they’re craving more capacity to lead effectively in the face of conflict, complexity, and change.

That’s exactly why The Liberation Leadership Lab exists.

HERE’S WHAT YOU EXPERIENCE INSIDE THE LIBERATION LEADERSHIP LAB:


Each session is designed to support your leadership journey, bridging personal growth with collective action.

Session 1:

Liberation as a North Star


Establish the foundation for mindful, values-aligned leadership by recognizing the patterns that undermine your agency. Learn to overcome them to empower yourself and others with clarity, intention, and skill.

Session 2:

Building The People’s House – Dismantling Systems of Oppression


Uncover how systems shape the challenges you and your community face, and gain practical tools to dismantle barriers while leading effective, values-driven change.

Session 3:

Building Capacity to Respond vs.
React – Navigating Triggers

 

Learn emotional and relational skills to navigate your own triggers and those of others, respond rather than react, build bridges across difference, and repair rupture to foster a culture of interdependence.

Session 4:

Self-Authorship
– Whose Story Are You Living?

 

Liberate yourself from the stories written for you so you can lead with authenticity, clarity, and freedom. Break through your limiting beliefs and explore the power of letting go to lead with greater ease.

Session 5:

Integration Day
– Breaking Through Resistance

 

Transformation requires applying what you’ve learned to your own contexts. This session helps you break through resistance, adapt insights to your leadership and mission, and develop an actionable plan to create lasting impact.

Session 6:

Rest, Restoration, and
Renewal + Celebration

 

Leadership is a marathon, not a sprint. This session helps you design your own rhythms of renewal that will keep you grounded, joyful, and deeply connected to your purpose.

WHY I CREATED THIS PROGRAM

I know how challenging this work can be, because I’ve lived it.

Trying to lead change in a divided world often feels overwhelming, lonely, and unsustainable.

For over 15 years, I’ve worked with mission-driven leaders across nonprofits, governments, and grassroots movements, supporting them to build people power, tell their stories, and lead change. I’ve taught leadership and organizing across Harvard schools and spent more than a decade working alongside Professor Marshall Ganz, training thousands in Public Narrative and Community Organizing on the frontlines.

After years training leaders across movements, I saw similar patterns: powerful changemakers burning out not just from overwork, but from the weight of leading change within systems that resist it. There’s a common pressure leaders face when navigating inequitable structures, especially when holding marginalized identities and working close to the problem, without spaces that nurture inner alignment or communal support.

Across movements and organizations, I consistently saw leaders yearning for the human skills that make it possible to thrive, not just survive, and to lead with courage in the face of complexity. Skills like responding rather than reacting, turning conflict into connection, and cultivating a centered presence amid uncertainty.

That’s why I created The Liberation Leadership Lab, to enable leaders to reclaim their agency, reconnect with their purpose, and lead from the inside out.
