Change is Critical

How rapidly is your world changing?

It has been said in the past, that the only thing constant in today’s world is change.  

Change is inevitable.

Yet, how many of us really like, or are capable of managing the change?

What is the reaction or process or thought when we are confronted by change? In many situations change is initially denied, ignored, resisted or ‘kicked down the road’. This is when the leader must be astute and help the family and the business understand why the change is critical, how the change will impact them, the value of the change for the future and how each individual can support the change.

Change is critical for survival and growth of any system, especially families and business families. Change cannot be seen as self-serving and negotiated behind closed doors.

How are you communicating change?
How transparent is the change you are leading?

Change requires casting the Vision for a better future to guild the legacy for the business family.

Language, Influence, and Performance

Every single one of us are in the business of moving others.  At work, we aim to move our team members to action, move our customers to extend trust and confidence in us, move our suppliers to deliver consistently.  The list goes on and on and it doesn’t stop when we get home.  We’re selling our children on the benefits of being honest, we want them to take responsibility and make healthy choices. 

Essentially, we are cajooling, convincing, persuading, influencing, twisting arms, and sometimes dragging them kicking and screaming.  Even when we would like five whole minutes of peace and quiet to drink our coffee and read the latest issue of HBR, we still want everyone else in the family to cooperate.

Recognizing that spending your time moving others is critical to your business and life success, Cathy Maday will teach tools that you can use to better influence and generate greater performance for your entire team, including yourself
