No More Patch Jobs: Rebuilding Trust, Culture and Connection that Lasts
Deborah Biddle
The People Culture Architect™, Founder, The People Company Consulting Group
As nonprofit teams feel increasingly stretched, “making it work” has become the norm—but patching problems rarely leads to real progress. Drawing from No More Patch Jobs, Deborah Biddle challenges leaders to stop fixing what’s broken and start rebuilding for strength. In this practical, inspiring keynote, she explores what sustainable leadership looks like today—grounded in trust, empathy and clarity.
