I spent half my career running grassroots campaigns for nonprofits where budgets were tight but creativity thrived. Then I stepped into corporate information security and realized that the same inventive approach—plus a background in psychology—could transform how we tackle human risk. In this session, I’ll show you how to borrow from the nonprofit playbook with practical strategies for planning cost-effective yet high-impact events, unearthing hidden talent, and proving to leadership that imagination can outperform big spending. If you’re tired of hearing “we can’t afford that,” learn how to turn budget limits into powerful opportunities that truly engage employees and elevate your security culture.

Expect rapid storytelling, hands-on tips, and a refreshing perspective on why the best way to ignite real change might just come from the nonprofit world.
