2026 Working Well Breakfast

MASTERCLASS – Hope Rising: How Hope Changes Lives and Transforms Organizations

THIS JUST IN: 50% of Americans do NOT believe that tomorrow is going to be better than today. Without hope, 150+ million people in this country simply exist from day to day. They struggle to find joy because they believe there’s little for them to look forward to. Said differently, millions of people get up, go to work, go home, and go to bed. And they do it day after day after day…

As leaders who are committed to making a difference, this can’t happen on our watch!  When people lose hope, lives change, organizations fail, and bad things happen. It’s our job as leaders to be beacons of hope. It’s our job to light the way. It’s our job to make sure that people believe in the power of tomorrow. To do this, we all need to know exactly how to create hope in all those around us.

In this engaging and empowering Masterclass, Dr. David Hunnicutt will illustrate:

  1. Why hope matters
  2. Specific steps you can take to create and instill hope in those around you
  3. Powerful techniques and exercises that world class leaders employ to create hope, light, and energy
  4. How you as a change-agent can create a culture of hope as a personal practice.

If you’re looking to take your leadership skills (and impact!) to the next level, you don’t want to miss this Masterclass!
