Steady in the Storm: Navigating Change with Purpose 

Donelle Hauser, President & CEO, Lad Lake | Matt Mueller, President & CEO, Cloud to Ground Solutions LLC

 

Change is a constant in today’s nonprofit sector. From funding shifts to leadership transitions and strategic realignments, organizations are being asked to pivot more often—and more quickly—than ever before. But mission-driven work demands a different mindset and approach than conventional corporate change models allow. In this candid, 75-minute session, veteran nonprofit leaders Donelle Hauser and Matt Mueller draw from decades of hands-on experience leading organizations through complex transitions. They will share lessons from the trenches and explore the human side of change—how to gauge readiness, manage resistance, communicate clearly, and focus on what matters most when the stakes are high. Participants will walk away with a clearer understanding of how to lead with intention, pace change responsibly, and align people and purpose through uncertain times.
