Pivot Ready:
How To Thrive Through Change
You Did Not Ask For

Before COVID-19, studies reported that 77% of companies were ill-prepared to deal with anticipated business disruption, 1/3 of senior leaders report feeling extremely burned out and $900 billion is wasted on failed transformation efforts each year. Organizations were struggling with reorganizations, mergers, acquisitions and fast-paced technology that’s moved everything faster than we have ever imagined.

Then the pandemic began and instantly organizations, teams and leaders were thrown into seismic changes that continue to cascade. No one asked for a global pandemic and yet leaders, teams and organizations are now thrown into a vortex of change that you didn’t ask for and seemingly still coming. It’s no surprise that leaders, organizations and teams are struggling now more than ever.

Organizations need to propel themselves forward dynamically and how do you as a leader do that with a workforce that’s challenged to keep focused, engaged and in action? The ability to capitalize on “Pivot Moments,” your ability to move dynamically and nimbly, is the secret to having the ability to reframe, refocus and realign your leadership during times of change. While the industry, your organization and team are moving through constant disruptions, the opportunity now as a leader is how do you think different and act differently instead of leaning on old paradigms and filters of how we view the world, our business and colleagues.

Unlocking your team’s potential can be compromised as well as their performance, creativity, decision-making, attentional-capacity and growing key relationships.

Times of disruption lead to opportunity if you as the team leader, know how to unlock your team’s hidden potential.

Invisible Influence:
3 Hidden Forces That Empowers
Extraordinary Growth During
Turbulent & Uncertain Times

As organizations have become more matrixed, influencing and communicating your ideas have become more complicated. Add in working from home, video conferencing sessions, newly reorganized teams, the latest addition of leaders with new or unclear roles and responsibilities and a lack of spontaneous hallway interactions, getting visibility today could be nearly impossible. The old formulas for how to get your ideas through and influence across the organization have been permanently altered.

Change and disruption have impacted everything and becoming an expert in inspiring people to fresh ideas and cross-functional partnering is vital to thriving in this new environment. Influencing is more nuanced today, and there are so many more people and concealed stakeholders who now have to buy into an idea. The paradox is to reveal your opportunity to influence the key is being visible. Being visible affords you the opportunity to have influence with the right people at the right times. Visibility is the key leadership currency today that unlocks influence into inspiring and making an impact.

Join leadership expert Esther Weinberg as she reveals the hidden forces that empower extraordinary growth during turbulent and uncertain times including:

Your level of influence won’t dynamically increase simply because you are present in virtual meetings or doing your work. If you want to have influence you must be visible. Being masterful at growing your visibility, knowing where the power dynamics lie in your organization and having the ability to create connections and inroads quickly with people that have influence is where you can create more leverage for yourself regardless if you work in an office or connect virtually.
