Ignite the SPARK: A Framework for Belonging and Resilience in Community College Culture

Dr. Joe Darin, Ed.D. 

College/Organization: Joe Darin Coaching

Community college professionals are no strangers to navigating change, complexity, and competing demands—all while remaining committed to student success and institutional mission. 

But who supports your success, your resilience, and your sense of belonging?

This interactive workshop introduces SPARK—a practical framework grounded in Strengths, Pivot, Adapt, Resilience, and Kindness. Created by an educator who has lived and led through adversity, SPARK helps individuals and teams reconnect to purpose, build adaptive strength, and cultivate belonging—right where they are.
