Technical disruption isn’t rare - it’s inevitable.

The real differentiator between resilient organizations and fragile ones isn’t who avoids glitches; it’s who recovers from them in ways that deepen trust instead of eroding it.

For CEOs, founders, and operational architects, technical failure isn’t just an IT problem - it’s a system integrity issue. In this Forbes feature, I contributed a leadership lens on why preparation, communication, and credibility management are core parts of operational agility.

💡
"Hire a virtual event producer! They take care of all the technical worries for you. Otherwise, create your own backup plans, whether through technology, a friend, communication or something else. Your biggest fear is exactly that - yours. The expectations you set or have for yourself are yours to manage. Think through potential scenarios and write out what you’ll do to create a survival checklist."

~ Kinga Vajda, Forbes Coaches Council

Leadership credibility isn’t earned by avoiding problems —
it’s earned by demonstrating how you respond when resilience is tested.

If your virtual systems failed tomorrow, would your leadership systems be ready to absorb the shock — or would you be scrambling?
