Session 1 - Naming the Mess: Leading Without All the Answers
Grounding session — normalizing the uncertainty leaders are facing, building trust as a group, and introducing a shared framework (e.g., what's in vs. out of our control) for the series.

Session 2 - The Weight We Carry: Vicarious Stress & Sustainable Leadership
Focus on leader burnout, secondary trauma, and capacity. Content piece on nervous-system/stress basics; discussion time on what's actually depleting people right now.

Session 3 - Hard Conversations, Held Well
Practical skill-building on navigating conflict — with staff, families, boards — while under pressure. Peer troubleshooting of real current situations.

Session 4 - Leading Forward: Collective Care as Strategy, Not Add-On
Closing session — how to build sustainable systems of support into leadership practice going forward (not just personal coping). Space to reflect on what's shifted across the series and commit to next steps.
