A practical conversation for leaders managing people under pressure
About this Event

Leading teams without chaos; especially when pressure is high, starts with clarity, structure, and realistic expectations.

As Pittsburgh prepares for the NFL Draft, many employers are thinking about staffing, scheduling, and leadership during high-volume moments. This session is designed for leaders who want to prepare before pressure hits, rather than reacting once things feel chaotic.

Staffing Without Chaos is a small, in-person conversation for owners, managers, and operations leaders responsible for leading people during busy seasons, large events, or periods of increased demand.

This is not HR training, a certification course, or a lecture.
It’s a practical, grounded discussion focused on what actually breaks first when teams scale quickly — and how leaders can prepare without overcomplicating their systems.


What we’ll explore
  • What tends to break first during high-pressure moments (and why)
  • How leadership decisions shape outcomes under stress
  • Common staffing mistakes made during surge periods
  • Why clarity and structure matter more than talent alone
  • How inclusive, well-supported teams perform more consistently when it counts

The goal is simple: help leaders feel more prepared, confident, and steady going into March and April.


Who this session is for
  • Business owners
  • Managers and supervisors
  • Operations and people leaders
  • Anyone responsible for staffing, scheduling, or leading teams during high-volume periods

You do not need to work in sports or event management to attend. The NFL Draft provides timely context, but the insights apply to many industries and busy seasons.
