Resilience & Crisis Leadership

Leading When the Path Is Unclear

Resilience isn’t something we’re born with—it’s something we build. And in today’s world, where disruption is constant, resilience and crisis leadership aren’t optional skills—they’re survival tools.

Amy Sins knows this firsthand. As a New Orleans keynote speaker and humanitarian, she has led through disasters big and small: from losing her home in Hurricane Katrina to coordinating relief for wildfires, floods, and humanitarian crises around the globe. Those experiences taught her that resilience is not about going it alone—it’s about connection, adaptability, and having the courage to take the first step forward.

What Audiences Learn

In Amy’s resilience and crisis leadership programs, audiences discover how to:

• Shift from panic to problem-solving. Learn to pause, reframe, and act with clarity even in high-pressure situations.

• Build trust before you need it. Trust is the true currency of leadership during chaos—and it must be nurtured ahead of time.

• Prioritize under pressure. When everything feels urgent, Amy’s SPARK framework helps leaders focus on what really matters.

• Lead with service first. Crisis leadership isn’t about titles—it’s about showing up, listening, and guiding others through uncertainty.

• Turn disruption into opportunity. Chaos can reveal hidden strengths, fuel innovation, and build stronger teams.

Why This Matters

Organizations today face constant disruption—economic uncertainty, shifting markets, new technologies, global challenges. The lessons Amy has learned in disaster zones apply just as powerfully in the boardroom. Whether it’s guiding a team through change, navigating a sudden crisis, or inspiring a culture of adaptability, Amy’s approach helps leaders build confidence in the face of the unknown.
