STAYING MENTALLY STRONG THROUGH CHANGE:
Plays for Leading When Nothing Is Predictable.
3 IN 4
EMPLOYEES REPORT SIGNIFICANT WORKPLACE CHANGE IN THE PAST YEAR
Nearly three in four employees report significant workplace change in the past year, and a majority say it’s taking a toll on their mental health and their performance. AI is redefining roles every few months. Teams get restructured before the last restructure has settled. Most people aren’t struggling because they’re weak. They’re struggling because nobody ever gave them the tools for staying steady when the ground keeps moving.
Amy teaches audiences what to actually do when the future is uncertain: in the middle of a meeting, the week after a policy change, or on an ordinary Tuesday when everything feels like it’s coming apart. Drawing on more than twenty years of clinical practice, she gives audiences specific, research-backed plays that help high performers keep delivering results when nothing feels predictable. Audiences learn why our instincts during change so often backfire, and what the research says to do instead.
