Program Description

Leadership transitions are inevitable in the nonprofit sector, but they can also be some of the most sensitive and defining moments for an organization’s relationships. Whether it’s a new executive stepping in, a long-standing leader departing, or shifts within development teams or boards, these periods of change can create uncertainty for donors, staff, and key stakeholders. 

Join us for an engaging and practical session with Dr. Kenston J. Griffin, founder and CEO of Dream Builders Communication, Inc., as he shares insights from over two decades of leadership experience. Drawing from his work as a certified international executive coach, Best selling author, and organizational leader, Dr. Griffin will explore how to navigate transitions with clarity, intention, and strong communication.

Participants will gain strategies to:

  • Understand the power of Effective Communication and Why
  • Maintain donor trust and engagement during times of change
  • Strengthen internal relationships across staff and leadership teams
  • Communicate transitions with transparency and confidence
  • Lead with resilience while fostering a culture of stability and growth

Grounded in both professional expertise and personal experience overcoming challenges, Dr. Griffin brings a thoughtful and inspiring perspective on what it means to lead and connect with others through change.

This session is ideal for nonprofit professionals, fundraisers, and leaders seeking to manage transitions effectively while preserving and strengthening the relationships that matter most.
