Built For This: Resilient Leadership Is Caught, Not Taught

Wednesday, May 20 | 12:00 - 1:30 PM

Resilience isn't taught in a staff meeting — it's caught from the leader in the room. In this highly interactive session, leaders will explore what it means to lead with intentional resilience during one of the most challenging moments in children's behavioral health history. Through honest reflection, peer connection, and a proven framework, you'll gain the tools and language to build resilience in yourself, model it for your team, and create the kind of culture that can absorb uncertainty without losing its mission — even when the environment gives every reason not to be.

Learning Objectives: 

  1. Recognize the hidden cost of leading at maximum capacity for too long — and what it's doing to the people watching them.

  2. Apply a proven three-pillar resilience framework to identify where they're strong and where the gaps are.

  3. Articulate why resilience spreads through organizations the same way culture does — from the top down and the inside out.

  4. Lead conversations with their teams that build resilience without adding to an already full plate.

  5. Leave having built real connections with peers who get it — and a renewed sense that they don't have to figure this out alone.

About the Presenter: Payne Schoen

Payne has spent his career asking one question: what becomes possible when a leader fully steps into who they're meant to be? A recovering CPA turned international executive coach and facilitator, Payne has spent years working at the intersection of self-awareness, executive presence, and transformative leadership. His coaching has taken him across industries and around the globe — developing leaders in international organizations through executive coaching and personal growth work, helping them show up aligned with their purpose, grounded in clarity, and confident when the pressure is highest. Whether working with nonprofit executives navigating sector-wide uncertainty, or corporate leaders stepping into expanded roles, Payne brings the same commitment to every engagement: create the conditions where honest reflection, genuine connection, and real growth become possible. His clients range from entrepreneurs to Fortune 50 companies, and what they share is a desire to lead in a way that actually matches who they are. Payne has fully embraced his role as a "girl dad" to his two daughters, Charlie and Chamberlin. Whether learning to braid hair, engaging in deep Barbie narratives, or navigating the uncharted waters of fatherhood, his daughters remain his greatest source of humility, joy, and perspective — and his strongest motivation to become not only a better coach, but a better human.
