Leadership through Crisis: A mouth icon has the words "real talk" on top of it; the title of the talk is displayed below

Leadership isn’t just about vision. Real leadership reveals itself through crisis. When things break down, the plan fails, and people are scared, confused, and looking for something solid to hold onto.

That’s the heart of the upcoming conversation:
When Everything Falls Apart: Leadership That Endures Through Crisis
 🗓️ June 13 | 12:30 PM EST
 📍 Hosted by AIGA

Join Hornsby Creative Group founder and AIGA Asheville President John Hornsby in conversation with AIGA President Cesar Rivera for a candid, unscripted discussion about what it really means to lead when the ground is shifting beneath your feet.

This isn’t a panel of polished success stories. It’s something deeper.

We’ll explore:

  • What crisis exposes about your true leadership values
  • How to build trust and foster belonging, even in instability
  • Why emotional presence might be the most underrated leadership skill of all
  • How to support others without losing yourself

Whether you’re a creative director, business owner, team lead, or community builder, this is a conversation for you, especially if you’ve ever had to hold others up while holding it together yourself.

Why does this conversation matter now?

Let’s be honest: the last few years have tested all of us. From navigating a pandemic and economic uncertainty to addressing deep systemic challenges, many leaders have been operating in survival mode.

And yet, within that pressure, some have emerged with more clarity, more empathy, and a renewed sense of purpose.

This conversation is a chance to pause, reflect, and reconnect with the why behind your leadership. To remember that your ability to show up fully and honestly can be one of the most transformative tools in your organization or community.


Let’s move beyond performative leadership and into something real.
