Plot Twist! Now What?: Leading Your Team Through Unexpected Change

Leading through change is about helping your team process, adapt, and move forward, even when the decision wasn’t yours. But change is messy, unpredictable, and often met with resistance.
This workshop gives you a clear roadmap for guiding your team through uncertainty using a practical, people-focused approach that helps leaders make sense of change, engage their teams, and sustain momentum.
We'll explore why change is so challenging, how different people experience it, and what leaders can do to smooth the transition and address resistance and roadblocks to progress.
By the end of this session, you’ll have the tools, strategies, and confidence to not only manage change—but to lead your team through it in a way that builds trust, motivation, and resilience.
