Keynote Address: The Power of Small for Big Transformations
Trathen Heckman | Saturday December 12th 10:49 am to 11:04 am
In a world on fire with multiple, epochal crises, how do we nurture hope, build power and contribute meaningfully? How do we catalyze and sustain the personal and collective transformations this immense planetary challenge calls for? Though the problems seem larger than life, our greatest power may in fact lie in our closest communities, in small daily acts of courage and conviction, in small groups of unstoppable world-changers, and small gardens that revitalize communities and reconnect us to nature’s operating instructions.

Kerry Fugett, Trathen Heckman, Lil Milagro Henriquez, and Brett KenCairn | Saturday December 12th 12:30 pm to 1:45 pm
The climate change ship has left the harbor, and what confronts us is the urgent need to accomplish multiple goals simultaneously: reducing and then eliminating greenhouse gas pollution; rapidly scaling up drawdown efforts by returning carbon to the soil; and building the resilience and adaptive capacity in our societal systems to face the multi-pronged crises coming our way. And we must do it all with an equity lens at the center. It’s a tall order, but it’s non-optional. Luckily, there are people and projects all over the country and the world providing effective pathways forward for integrated climate action, using “whole problem” approaches. By leveraging collaboration across multiple sectors, these visionary leaders are outlining revolutionary blueprints for the next wave of essential work we need to do. Moderated by Kerry Fugett, Leadership Institute Manager of Daily Acts. With: Trathen Heckman, founder and Director of Daily Acts; Lil Milagro Henriquez, founder and Executive Director of Mycelium Youth Network; Brett KenCairn, Boulder, Colorado’s Senior Policy Advisor for Climate and Resilience.

Nichole Warwick, Kerry Fugett and Trathen Heckman | Saturday December 12th 2:00 pm – 3:30 pm
As leaders driven by the urgency of the need to constantly do more to address the dire challenges our communities face, how do we avoid burnout? How do we learn to actually embody our purpose and values and personally model the cultural shifts needed for wider societal transformation? In this workshop we will discover tools designed to strengthen our “personal ecology” and our leadership compass. It includes a framework that can be applied at the scales of self, organizations, and coalitions in ways that unleash the power of community. In this interactive session, we will draw from highly effective practices developed by the grassroots non-profit Daily Acts to increase our collective leadership resilience during times of unrest and crisis by holding reverence in our hearts, reclaiming our power, and nurturing our relations.
Facilitated by Nichole Warwick, Kerry Fugett and Trathen Heckman.
