Leading Change

Navigate adversity and build resilience

Change is an inevitable challenge for growth companies and rapidly changing industries. From strategy shifts to reorgs, change is unavoidable. And in the new and unpredictable landscape of remote and hybrid work, big changes will continue to be the norm.

As a leader, your approach to change can be either anxiety-inducing or catalyzing for your team. This design leadership workshop looks at change management through the lenses of neuroscience and design.

Learn how to work with the brain’s natural responses to change, transition team members through significant organizational shifts, and build resilience in yourself and in them.

“It gives you the tools and techniques you need to help facilitate meaningful change within your teams and organization. ”

— Lauren Pagan, Design Lead at Metalab

“This workshop was a safe environment to learn key principles and frameworks for navigating change at any level.”

— Kristopher Higley, Director of Product Design at Divvy

Session details

Change and the brain

Change has a profound effect on the human brain. This leadership workshop provides a neuroscientific perspective to help you understand what’s actually happening to your team members when they’re faced with significant change and tough demands.

Designing transitions

Your design skills are an essential asset as you figure out how to lead your team through adversity. In this session, you’ll learn how to show up authentically as a leader by crafting a transition plan that helps guide people through significant organizational and company shifts.

Building resilience

Resilience is the ability to recover from setbacks — a skill that’s necessary for keeping individuals and teams effective during times of change. While you may have formed a baseline resilience at a young age, you can build it further in yourself and in your team members through shared purpose, a growth mindset, regular connection, and supportive practices.
