Nonprofit Executive Breakfasts are held three times a year with the goal of bringing together the executive leaders of Kansas City's nonprofits for idea sharing and networking.

Herding Porcupines: How To Turn Disruption Into A Competitive Advantage

Industry Disruption. Innovation. Managing Chaos.  The new expectation of every leader and industry is to rethink and retool their approach to business if they want to be relevant, see results, and increase revenue. How individuals and organizations respond to this new business culture will determine if they thrive or die. 

Steven Iwersen, speaker, author and leadership specialist, presents the four essentials that the best leaders of large and small organizations are using every day to stay ahead of the crowd and to help avoid getting stuck. Discover how turning chaos into an advantage is as easy as herding porcupines.

Your participation is important to us and to your colleagues throughout the Kansas City area. Join us to nurture partnerships and build supportive relationships with peers over casual breakfast. Our goal is to foster a community of informed nonprofit executives, and ultimately help leaders become even more effective in their leadership roles.

Please note: Attendance at this breakfast is solely for nonprofit executive directors and CEOs.
