How to mobilize employees to embrace bold changes (and not resist them)

Have you ever had to announce a big change at your company? Perhaps one of the following:

• A new product launch or initiative
• Layoffs or offshoring plans
• Budget cuts or a removal of employee benefits
• A “pivot” midyear in your revenue forecasting
• Data insights that you know will be met by hostile stakeholders
• Updates on quarterly earnings reports to investors
• The internal adoption or implementation of a new product or software

While these are just some examples, we can all recall a few workplace change management initiatives that have gone wrong. If you’ve ever been met with dissatisfied questions, opinions, or perhaps even outright resistance and rebellion, we have one tip for you: It probably had something to do with your change management communication.

In our webinar, How to mobilize employees to embrace bold changes (and not resist them), we pull a few pages from our award-winning workshop Illuminate™ and share some of our timeless secrets on leading through change successfully.

In this webinar, you’ll learn how to

• Equip yourself and your leaders with the same communication tools that Steve Jobs, Howard Schultz, and Martin Luther King, Jr. used to move people
• Lay out a plan to help you lead people through the 5 stages of transformation
• Harness the power of persuasive communication so you can turn your ideas into movements
• Communicate with emotional polarity so you can speak to all audiences, both optimists and skeptics, in your organization

Who this webinar is for

• C-suite leadership who speak to the company or press
• Communications and Marketing departments
• Operations and implementation teams
• HR teams who announce staffing updates or workplace changes
• Any role charged with unveiling a new strategy, initiative, or business plan

This is a 30-minute webinar followed by 20 minutes of interactive Q&A.
