About the Event

In today’s fast-changing environment, rural entrepreneurs are navigating an array of unique and evolving challenges. From geographic isolation and workforce dynamics to supply chain shifts and adapting to the impacts of broader economic and policy trends—resilient leadership is more important than ever.

Our August workshop, “Courageous Resilience: Empowering Rural Entrepreneurs,” is designed to meet this moment with heart, tools, and community. You’ll learn how to adapt and thrive through uncertainty using scenario planning, reflective exercises, and practical strategies that go beyond the usual business toolkit.

We’ll kick off with a hands-on exercise to map your personal resilience journey, followed by stories from fellow entrepreneurs, tools for leadership transformation, and real-talk peer discussions. Whether you’re building something new or evolving what already exists, this session will help you reconnect with your purpose and lead through change.
