Chrysta Wilson to Speak on Pressure-Proof Leadership at the Black Women Nonprofit Leaders Forum in Alhambra, California

On September 3, expert leadership coach Chrysta Wilson will speak at the Black Women Nonprofit Leaders Forum 2026 in Alhambra, California, connecting mission-driven nonprofit leaders to share strategies and build networks.
This year's theme, "Rooted in Purpose and Called to Rise," reflects the urgency of leadership for Black women nonprofit leaders navigating complex social change. The forum provides a platform for these mission-driven leaders to share wisdom and rise together.
Wilson, founder of Wilson and Associates Coaching and Consulting, will present "Becoming Pressure-Proof: How the Right Conversation Moves You and Your Team Through Change, Uncertainty, and Burnout." She brings over 25 years of experience in leadership development.
Participants will learn to communicate pressure clearly to boards and staff while using storytelling to guide teams through change. Wilson's framework reframes pressure as a design challenge rather than personal failure, helping leaders sustain purpose and avoid burnout.
Having trained over 15,000 leaders across more than 200 organizations, Wilson applies rigorous systems originally designed for government agencies to the nonprofit sector. Her work builds infrastructure enabling leaders to become pressure-proof under high-stakes conditions.
