Carey Nieuwhof

In this talk, Carey Nieuwhof explores what it means to cultivate healthy leadership in unhealthy cultures. With years of pastoral and organizational experience, he reminds us, as J. Krishnamurti once said, “It is no measure of health to be well-adjusted to a profoundly sick society.” When we refuse to let culture define our values, we protect our integrity and the people we serve. Through the THINQ Framework, Carey helps us see leadership through a fuller lens—rooted in theology that shapes our values, aware and a student of history’s lessons, open to honest reflection, attuned to complex realities, and grounded in the courage to question what’s been normalized.
