Dr. Melissa Bird | Leading from the Heart

Dr. Melissa Bird | Leading from the Heart Thursday Nov 5th, 2026 6:30 - 8:30 PM Join lay preacher, activist and former Utah native Dr. Melissa Bird for an event celebrating her new book, Leading from the Heart. The evening will focus on intuitive leadership, community building, and joyful activism. About the book: We are at a precipice. And the old ways of leading, built on certainty, control, and the assumption that one person holds all the answers, are failing us. Leading From the Heart is an invitation into what Dr. Melissa Bird calls the Graceful Revolution. Not the leadership of seven habits and five-step frameworks, but something older and more honest: the recognition that we are all grieving, that we do not have all the answers, and that the both/and is always richer than the either/or. Dr. Bird challenges leaders, CEOs, policymakers, and anyone in a position of influence to release binary thinking and lead from the soul outward. This is leadership as a spiritual practice. As a collective act. What institutions are only now beginning to discover, communities have always known: that people do not want to be managed or assumed about. They want to be heard. They want connection. Sometimes, they just want hot lasagna. Leading From the Heart is is a call for revolutionary compassion at the exact moment the world needs it most.
