In an era when disruption, complexity, and change fatigue have become the norm, stress is no longer simply a personal issue — it’s a systemic and strategic challenge. Development and humanitarian leaders are being called to move beyond reactive crisis management and instead design resilience directly into the core of their systems, strategies, and leadership culture.
DevelopmentAid, together with leadership expert, founder of the consulting firm TalentTech, and creator of the Empathic Systems Leadership framework, Matanat Rahimova, invites senior program leaders, heads of missions, donor representatives, and decision makers to an exclusive webinar that explores a transformational approach to resilient leadership.
Invitation to a Webinar

Key Takeaways
- A strategic reframing of stress as a design challenge, rather than a personal flaw
