The Gathering
A purposeful pause to look forward
Perseverance is not simply enduring. It’s finding the courage, community, and commitment to shape the future.
Fuel the Future brings people together in the spirit of generosity and shared purpose. Join Margaret Wheatley and the Center for Purposeful Leadership for a special Giving Tuesday conversation inspired by the newly released second edition of Perseverance: A Companion for the Journey.
Together, we’ll explore what it means to persevere, remain connected, and nurture the communities and leadership practices that will carry us forward. Come as you are, bring your questions, and join a generous conversation about the future we shape together. Your participation also helps sustain the spaces CPL convenes for purposeful leadership, meaningful connection, and shared practice.
