Learn and Grow with Us!

April 21st (Tuesday), 1:30 pm. to 4:30 p.m.

Everyone understands that in times of adversity, we have two choices - adapt or die. ​This class will explore how to lead organizational change during VUCA circumstances (Volatile, Uncertain, Chaotic, Ambiguous). Rooted in the neuroscience of change, we’ll examine the hidden impediments to change, and how calls to action during uncertain times like these can galvanize your team’s best thinking to adapt, pivot and overcome.
