Empowering Changemakers

Presented by Sinikka Waugh, President & Founder of Your Clear Next Step

They say that change has never come at us this fast, and it will never be this slow again. But intentional change in an organizational context requires capable changemakers, and those changemakers need to be equipped and empowered.

Projects and initiatives are created to effect change, but that doesn’t happen without people leading them and driving them forward. And too often, if those people are ill-equipped, the project goes off the rails, leaving stakeholders dissatisfied.

Changemakers are the individuals who make things happen, and more often than not, the people who could make things happen are missing either the principles, the tools, the process, the influence skills, or the know-how to get from A to B. With just a handful of simple, easy to grasp and quick to apply concepts, individuals can become influencers. Professionals become change leaders. Change agents can become changemakers.

Join us for this engaging and highly interactive workshop that brings together best practices to help you improve your own ability to enable change and empower changemakers wherever you find yourself.

Join speaker and trainer Sinikka Waugh in this workshop that features Sinikka’s famous blend of engaging and real-life stories, discussion and activities, and try-this-now application with tools you can use right away to make workdays even better wherever you find yourself.

By attending this session, participants can expect to
• Increase your own ability to enable change
• Equip you to leverage tools that foster successful change
• Enable you to identify and empower changemakers around you
