Do something SO bold, that a year from now, when we are through this, you’ll shout: “I can’t believe we/did that!” 

Especially during disruptive change, this program is personally inspirational. However, the effects extend to the workplace … as people become bolder, more confident, take more risks, think larger – despite circumstances.

Janet brings the lessons of her experiences as a National Triathlon Champion, Ironman competitor, and pilot who’s flown through the world … to inspire you to think the impossible and do the unimaginable. Her stories highlight overcoming depths, resilient comebacks, and miraculous survivals.

You will knock away outdated pillars, blow away perceptions of what’s possible, rewrite your story and create a new set of rules. In doing so, life will be expanded as never before.

TAKEAWAYS

  1. Motivate yourself to push beyond.
  2. Rewrite old stories and old rules.
  3. Push back limiting blocks.
  4. Develop a personal Change Airbag, where nothing will get you down.

Stay Standing: How to thrive with change

You need to stay focused, optimistic and forward moving …. despite disruption. You need a leader with the clinical skills to help people through trauma. OUR GOALS: ...

You need to stay focused, optimistic and forward moving …. despite disruption. You need a leader with the clinical skills to help people through trauma.

OUR GOALS:

  1. Through survey and interview, we find out what’s going on, how people really feel.
  2. We find out which of five basic change reactions you have, to understand your own and others’ reaction styles. This increases understanding and empathy, and gives us a recovery roadmap.
  3. We practice the skills that successful change adaptors use to stay focused and optimistic, no-matter-what. We learn to balance energy output and avoid burnout.
  4. We learn how to look for opportunities and possibilities. Move from “what-if” worry to a “what-now” action plan.
  5. Develop a Master Grid Plan that will lead to productive, high-value action. Starting from a new end vision or desired post-COVID future state, work backwards into short -term goals and devise action plans that are scheduled on a daily basis.

My mission is to give hope and optimism during difficult times; to show clear paths forward where there had been none before.

“Change is a force to be feared, or an opportunity to be seized. The choice is ours.”
