The opportunities & Challenges of Growth
Positive change can be just as stressful as negative change because with every gain there is a loss. Processing it with excitement, not threat, requires insight into the dynamics of change, appreciation for those who resist it, and techniques for moving people and the organization forward.
Because change increases the fear of the unknown, lessens control, and produces anxiety, miscommunication and conflict can increase and teams are challenged. Attendees will leave with immediately applicable techniques that can be integrated into their personal and professional styles.

CLOSing Keynote
Create a blame free & Gossip Free Work environment
Join the movement to create a motivating and safe workplace where employees and leaders can concentrate on their jobs without distracting and destructive blaming and gossiping!
Consider the benefits of a work environment where fear, worry, resentment, and suspicion are absent; a pleace where the work flows, because the avenues previously cluttered with destructive chatter have been cleared.
Blame Free: When things go wrong, it doesn't matter who is to blame; it matters that it gets fixed!
Gossip Free: Everyone will be encouraged to talk to each other instead of about each other. Instead of complaining about a colleague to a coworker or supervisor, they will acquire the skills to talk to one another directly.
Eliminating blame and gossip in a work environment results in higher productivity!
