What does it take to lead through uncertainty—and come out stronger on the other side? In this episode of Leading Through Change – Adaptability & Innovation, host Naomi Smith speaks with association leaders who didn’t just weather disruption—they used it as a springboard for transformation.
Dianna Steinbach, Senior Vice President at the Institute of Management Accountant (IMA), shares how the association pivoted when a major revenue stream collapsed. Typhaine Beauperin, CEO of the Federation of European Risk Management Associations (FERMA), reflects on how a shift from sponsorship to partnerships gave her organisation the resilience it needed to thrive during the pandemic.
Also featured is Steph Davidson from the National MS Society, who outlines a practical, four-step framework for embedding innovation into your leadership approach—from vision-setting to post-change planning.
