Adaptive Responses

Respond with the mindset the moment requires.

Knowing how to manage and lead is part of the work. Recognizing when to listen, speak directly, consider another perspective, or stand firm helps leaders put that knowledge into practice.

Adaptive Responses helps leaders recognize their familiar patterns, stretch beyond their default responses, and practice approaches that fit the situation.

Participant perspectives

What participants say.

The biggest breakthrough for me was learning how to manage my strengths and understanding that everyone has their own unique superpower. It has made me more self-aware, especially in areas where I need to be more intentional with my time.

Jackie Riggleman

Project Manager, Canopy Team

Through two LEAD Academies with Russo Leadership, I have learned to push myself beyond my comfort zone. It is still uncomfortable at times, but I can actually feel the growth. Nayli’s guidance helped me realize so much about how I lead.

Anthony Wycklendt

Area Supervisor, Scouting

The LEAD program has been transformative. Nayli taught me the foundations of leadership, then helped me build my own leadership style through my core values. Her focus on actionable implementation makes it seamless to apply day to day.
