The Unspoken Rules of Change: How to Thrive When the Only Constant is Uncertainty
When an organization changes, the most critical question isn’t “What’s the new organizational chart?” It’s “How do I maintain my value when everything is shifting?” This workshop provides the roadmap.
The Challenge: Moving Past Fear and Finding Clarity
Change is unsettling. The fear of the unknown—job security, new processes, and changing team culture—is real and valid. This anxiety triggers a “threat state” in the brain, reducing focus and draining creative energy. When employees are operating from a place of fear, they cannot focus on their best work or embrace new opportunities.
This workshop is designed to transition employees out of that reactive state. Jamie provides practical, science-backed tools to depersonalize the uncertainty, regain a sense of control, and build a clear path to thriving within the evolving organization, ensuring personal growth aligns with the company’s new mission.
Three Pillars: Embracing Change and Securing Your Future
Pillar #1: Re-establishing Your Personal Center of Control.
When the environment feels chaotic, you must anchor to what you can control. Jamie teaches employees how to identify their non-negotiable core values and use them as a compass. This exercise helps reduce the power of the inner critic, replacing anxiety with certitude about their personal contribution. The focus shifts from the company’s macro-strategy to the individual’s micro-plan for success.
Pillar #2: Depersonalizing the Feedback and Finding Your Role.
Change often feels like a judgment on past performance. We teach a structured method for depersonalizing feedback, engaging the logical prefrontal cortex over the emotional amygdala. Attendees will learn how to analyze the new organizational needs as objective data and apply their existing strengths to new, high-value roles, ensuring their personal brand aligns with the new entity’s vision.
Pillar #3: The Power of Vulnerability in a New Collective.
The fastest way to build trust with new colleagues is through authentic connection. We’ll explore how practicing vulnerability (sharing moderate, professional concerns) releases oxytocin, establishing immediate psychological safety with new partners. This approach helps merge teams move past the “us vs. them” mindset and create a new, high-performing culture.
