About this Event
Register for the 3rd Annual Kickstart 2026 Leadership Symposium!
Theme: Leading During Times of Uncertainty
In a world of constant and unpredictable change, true leadership is measured by how confidently and creatively you respond. This year, we’re exploring topics that empower caring leaders at every level. Dive into Funding, Diversity & Inclusion, Health & Wellness, Change Management, and Strategic Planning to strengthen resilience, sharpen strategy, and develop purpose-driven solutions. These leadership qualities never go out of style.
Get ready to experience a day overflowing with hope for the New Year! #Kickstart 2026
Purpose:
The start of a new year brings both opportunity and pressure. And with it, resolutions, ambitions, and the question of what’s next. Is it time to launch a new endeavor, explore a career shift, start a business, or simply realign with what brings you joy and fulfillment?
Join us on Friday, January 9, 2026, at Nazareth University for a half-day of inspiring speakers, interactive workshops, and meaningful networking. Connect with like-minded leaders and leave equipped to navigate uncertainty with confidence, clarity, and purpose.
