Join us for an engaging and practical webinar designed to help find common ground and foster alignment rooted in shared values presented by Ryan Virden. In a time of increasing polarization and burnout, this session offers tools and strategies to move beyond surface-level agreement and into deeper connection—strengthening relationships, cultivating trust, and building the foundation for more effective, values-aligned collaboration. Whether you’re navigating internal tensions, seeking to unite around a common purpose, or just looking to deepen connections this session will offer clarity, encouragement, and actionable insight.
Here is advance notice of a 3-part series of webinars that Ryan Virden will be presenting separate from CORFA and Refuge Association’s normal webinar series. These webinars, focused on “Leading with Purpose – Building Stronger, More Connected Wildlife Friends Groups”, will be free and open to any who want to participate. More information coming soon.
