Leadership for a Time of Permanent Disruption
We’re a social impact lab for leaders holding things together when everything is coming apart
We’re building a new model for crisis leadership in a time of constant disruption.
Working in close collaboration with The Forbes Funds, The Center for Crisis Transformation is a social impact lab for leaders and organizations striving to meet today’s unprecedented economic, social, ecological, political, and technological challenges with clarity, courage, and care.
Our work responds to a unique kind of crisis: permacrisis.
Permacrisis is the defining type of crisis in our time:
Chronic. Relationally complex. Morally entangled.
Permacrisis bleeds across systems,
Grinding down leaders, organizations, and communities
Through burnout, conflict, cynicism, mistrust, resentment, and moral injury.
Permacrisis doesn’t just disrupt.
It shows what isn’t working, demanding a deeper, more human way of leading.
But here’s the truth:
Traditional crisis management was built for this.
That’s where we come in.
Through training, coaching, and strategic facilitation, we help leaders, organizations, and communities:
Face painful choices with integrity,
Do the hard things well,
And shape futures rooted in justice, healing, and hope.
We strengthen leaders and organizations in permacrisis—and tend a moral ecology that lays the foundation for human flourishing.
We envision a resilient society rooted in humanity, purpose, and collaboration—where even in adversity, leaders are not alone, missions are not abandoned, and communities are not forgotten.
We provide:
Free tools and resources
Online courses focused on core crisis leadership practices
Workshops and intensives for leadership teams and boards
Coaching, facilitation, and strategic design for deeper accompaniment
And we live our Core Values:
Compassion: Our hearts break open instead of apart.
Courage: We affirm life despite our fear, confusion, and pain.
Rootedness: We sustain and strengthen each other through intentional relationship.
Truth: Holding hard truths with one another is how healing, love, and justice begin.
Integrity: The sound of the genuine within us liberates ourselves and each other.
