The 19th Annual HIGHER Ground Leadership Conference returns for a second, powerful gathering. While HIGHER Ground is traditionally a once-a-year event, they are thrilled to offer an encore event in 2025 on November 7th from 8:00am – 1:00pm in response to the high demand for leadership development and the unique community HIGHER Ground provides. With this special half-day Fall session, entitled Resilience and Renewal: Navigating Leadership in Changing Times, you are invited to step into an intentional space for learning, reflection, and connection. During a pivotal election season in Virginia, the HIGHER Ground Leadership Conference offers a timely opportunity to discuss and explore how leaders can navigate change gracefully, while remaining grounded, adaptive, and forward-focused. With engaging speakers, dynamic workshops, and interactive learning experiences, attendees will be encouraged to share stories, be vulnerable, discover insights, and uncover new ways to lead with resilience and purpose.

Whether you are a seasoned executive, an emerging leader, or someone simply curious about cultivating leadership in yourself and others, this special fall session provides interactive workshops designed to equip you with practical strategies, opportunities to connect or reconnect with HIGHER Ground alumni and peers, a supportive environment to renew and recharge your leadership outlook, and motivating discussions around navigating uncertainty with confidence.
