Leading Through Grief: Navigating Leadership in Times of Loss @ Sweta Vikram
Research shows that grief-related stress costs employers billions annually in lost productivity, absenteeism, and burnout, yet grief remains one of the least discussed challenges in professional spaces. In times of personal loss, many women in leadership continue performing at a high level while quietly carrying emotional exhaustion, decision fatigue, and overwhelm.
In this webinar, award-winning entrepreneur, Ayurvedic doctor (A.D.), and global speaker Sweta Vikram explores how grief impacts leadership, nervous system regulation, communication, and resilience—and how to navigate these challenges without abandoning yourself in the process.
Attendees will walk away with practical tools to lead with greater clarity, emotional steadiness, and self-awareness during difficult seasons, along with a deeper understanding of how unprocessed grief can shape workplace performance, relationships, and well-being.
