HUMAN.

Too often, leaders leave conferences and events feeling empty—stuck in the 'networking dance' or the "there's nowhere else to go" forced social pressure. The Spill Teem® changed that and powered a series of leadership events designed to be the way you've always wanted them to be: HUMAN. In 2024, Charlottesville, VA, and surrounding leaders packed the venues of 8 HUMAN. Leadership events: ⚡️Six HUMAN. Connection events: Authentic relationships built and fueled in just 60 minutes. ⚡️One beautifully crafted HUMAN. Ideas event: Leaders participated in a private dinner experience where visioning vulnerably became the norm, and; ⚡️One Half-day HUMAN. Conversations Conference: Where insights and inspiration filled every room and microphone! Enjoy this HUMAN. recap and a special thank you to the leaders who helped bring this impact to life 👏: Mariane Asad Doyle, Ph.D. , Yolunda (Armstrong) Harrell, Cannon Thomas, Tamara Wilkerson Dias, EdD, Laura Duckworth, Ed.D, SHRM-SCP, Katya Davydova, MSOD, Joshua René, Rebecca Schmidt, MPA, SHRM-SCP, Idris (Eyedriss) Stover, PHR (She/Her/Hers), Courtney Cacatian, Fredrick Martin MBA, MCA, Shernita Parker, JD, Samuel Sanders, Jr, Corey Clayborne, FAIA, MBA, CAE, James Barton As 2024 comes to a close, your incredible feedback and attendance have inspired us. We’re more committed than ever to creating transformative leadership spaces in 2025 and are excited to bring HUMAN. to a city near you! 🌆 Cheers to more authentic spaces to learn, think, and grow—and to redefining leadership as a behavior, not a title. Here’s to 2025 and leadership events the way you've always wanted them to be: HUMAN.! 🥂 #LeadershipConference #LeadershipSummit #ExecutiveLeadership #LeadershipEvents #LeadershipRetreat #ProfessionalDevelopment #LeadershipNetworking #LeadershipForum #LeadershipGrowth #LeadershipExcellence #authenticleadership #authenticity #relationship #humancentereddesign #humancentered #virginia #behaviordesign #business #betterbusiness #leadership #networking #virginia #leadershipdevelopment #innovation #businessevent #personaldevelopment #human #panel #insights #inspiration #leadershipskills #charlottesville #charlottesvilleva #spillteem #HUMANevent 🎦 Zach Phillips

The past few days, I’ve been sitting with several leaders of organizations discussing team impact in such a charged and divided political climate. This isn't a one-size-fits-all prescription but simply a few key suggestions on ways to support and encourage EVERYONE. I hope this helps. You got this! 1️⃣ Make room and acknowledge that there are heavy and big thoughts and emotions now and in the days ahead. It’s important for people to know it’s completely okay to feel whatever comes up. This empathy and respect can help create a safe space for processing and support. 2️⃣ Encourage the team to lean into the organization’s purpose and values. While personal beliefs and values WILL be impacted, leaning and focusing on your shared mission can offer grounding and remind everyone that we’re all part of something bigger, something meaningful. 3️⃣ Offer for people to step away and take moments for personal reflection to help people recharge. Encourage them to step away briefly, take a walk, or talk to someone they trust. This isn’t about a long retreat but brief, intentional moments to gather oneself. Even a small pause can help team members return with more clarity, resilience, and a sense of collective purpose. Leadership isn’t easy, and the world around your organization certainly doesn’t always help, but these steps can help everyone feel seen and supported. Be encouraged, and #spillonpurpose friends! #Leadership #ThoughtLeadership #humancenteredleadership #behaviordesign #peoplestratgey #humancentereddesign #humancenteredstrategy #humancentered #humanresources #change #leadingteams #peoplesupoort #teamdevelopment #leaders #LeadershipDevelopment #empathy #empatheticleadership
