Change Management Keynote Speakers

All Change is Personal

“People change what they do less because they are given analysis that shifts their thinking than because they are shown a truth that influences their feelings.” – John Kotter  

The usual approach to change does not take into consideration the human brain and its neurological realities. The brain’s primary hardwired mission is ‘first, keep alive.’ When change is coming, the brain senses personal danger and all too often its built-in responses are to trigger emotions that cause people to resist and prevent change. This is the major reason why over 80% of change efforts fail.

Our change management keynote speakers will share the brain science of emotions that leaders need to understand in order to drive change in their organizations – and be open to it themselves!

To get your organization to successfully adapt to external disruption and the new world of work, requires managers and leaders to accept this reality – that all change is personal – and that they need to start managing from this point of view so their people will step into uncertainty and take the risks required to achieve successful change efforts.

In this provocative keynote, our thought leaders will share best practices from organizations who are successful in adapting to change – and driving employee engagement at the same time – by leveraging the operating system of the brain.

In this program, you will:

  • Learn what Last 8% situations are and how they impact the personal aspect of change
  • Understand what happens to your brain in the face of change, uncertainty, and pressure
  • Specific tools and strategies to manage emotions so you can deal effectively with change
  • Learn how to leverage empathy as a way to connect to the emotions of others in order to lead and influence them through change.
  • Understand how to apply the strategies to increase resilience, as well as promote creativity and innovation.

Fantastic! Very leading edge thinking. The speaker had huge energy and passion. Our leadership team couldn’t get enough of him – I could listen to him all day!
