  • From Crisis to Comeback: Leadership Lessons in Recovery and Opportunity

    From Crisis to Comeback: Leadership Lessons in Recovery and Opportunity
    Jun 27 2026



    When crisis strikes, how do communities not only recover, but come back stronger?


    In this episode of Wake Up Calgary, we explore resilience from two perspectives: disaster recovery and education.


    Our first guest, Leann Hackman-Carty, CEO of Economic Developers Alberta, has guided communities through some of Alberta’s toughest moments — from floods and wildfires to long-term economic disruptions. She shares practical strategies for leaders and families on preparing for the unexpected, as well as insights on the vital role of mental wellness in recovery.


    Next, Marija Pavkovic-Tovissi, Founder and President of MaKami College, reveals how education can empower individuals and transform systems. From transitioning her college into a nonprofit institution to providing over $1 million in newcomer and student supports, Marija explains how mentorship, opportunity, and accessible learning create resilient communities for the future.


    We wrap with Linda Garson of Culinaire Magazine, who takes us on location for A Taste of Calgary — reminding us that food and culture are also anchors of community.


    💡 Whether you’re a business owner, community leader, or lifelong learner, this episode will leave you with tools, ideas, and inspiration for building resilience in your own life.
