Keynote Speaker
Prepare. Adapt. Communicate. Execute.
Prepare
When we anticipate change, we prepare to respond to new demands, expectations, and roles. This work may come in the form of intentional recruitment, retention, and workforce development strategies; building a talent pipeline; or using data to forecast changes that will impact the group or organization.
Learn how you to prepare yourself, your team, or your organization to respond to change.
Adapt
When change comes, we adapt. We learn to accept–and even appreciate!–failure, develop better strategies to support our teams, leverage partnerships and resources, and cultivate resilience.
Learn how to adapt in times of crisis, failure, transition, or overwhelming success.
Communicate
During periods of change, decisions we make about communication can significantly influence attitudes and outcomes within our teams and larger communities. We communicate intentionally and unintentionally through the avenues of engagement and forms of communication we employ.
Learn how to communicate before, during, or after transformation.
Execute
Change necessitates action. Regardless of how we have prepared, adapted, or communicated, we must move forward. Execution encompasses how we support our teams, delegate tasks, and document the process for decision-making, implementation, and iteration.
Learn how to execute a project or idea.
