Discovery Series: Adaptive Leadership
Colby Fackler

Colby Fackler

The best leaders bring out the best in any person and any situation.

Join the Leaders of Tomorrow Program to hear from the Vancouver Whitecaps FC and learn how they continuously adapt to shifting realities.

Like improvisers, leaders draw from past experiences, trusted techniques and whatever they have at their disposal to create something original in the present. Scientific research now links the practice of improvisation to increased uncertainty tolerance, anxiety reduction, creative thinking, adaptivity, and so much more.

Why you need to attend:

  • Hear from an experienced senior-level executive.
  • Unite, energize and bond with other LOT Mentees.
  • Learn foundational improv principles.
  • Reflect on how those principles apply to leadership.
