Winning Strategies with a WBE

Readiness Before Reaction: Leading Through Change Without Breaking Trust

Leaders today are expected to move fast, through AI adoption, restructures, and constant change, often without time to pause.

This session explores why resilience breaks down when organizations react faster than people can process, and how leaders can create the clarity, shared expectations, and human space needed to navigate change without eroding trust.

Participants will walk away with a simple, repeatable framework for leading change in a way that stabilizes people and sustains performance.

Register today! And bring your sales and marketing leaders, too.

Join our guest speaker Lisa Rigoli of Element of Change, for this installment of our WBEC Florida Winning Strategies with a WBE series, which features our members bringing their expertise directly to you!

Date: Tuesday, June 30, 2026 **NEW DATE**

Time: Noon to 1:30 p.m. 

Location: Online via Zoom

Cost: Complementary for members and nonmembers

A Zoom link will be provided after registration.
