"But I Can't See Them!": The Secrets to Leading Remote Work Teams that Thrive
Virtual teams, or teams that are not physically co-located, have been a way of doing work since the early 1990’s. But for many leaders, the 2020 COVID pandemic has quickly forced remote work as the “new” normal, leaving many feeling stumped as to how to ensure ongoing productivity when they can’t physically see and monitor each team members performance. Additionally, many fear the breakdown of the team’s culture and sense of community. This workshop explores the key steps to build the single most required aspect for successfully leading remote work: trust.
"Release Real Change and Make Your Change Leadership Magic Happen"
Real change leaders are not those at the top or the hired change consultants but rather those found at the mid-level and frontlines. No skill is more important in today's workplace than being able to influence and lead others through transitions. And those that do it exceptionally well are those that influence and lead others through transitions. And those that do it exceptionally well are those that are keenly self-aware, knowing how to leverage a combination of their own emotional intelligence, leadership behaviors, and change management processes to create the required psychological safety that spurs others on to be innovative and easily move through transitions.
During this talk, Tricia will discuss key trends driving organizational change in business and the critical "must do's" of great change leaders. Attendees will leave the conversation with a clear sense of their "go do's" to develop their own personal change leader playbook to prepare themselves to lead with outstanding success.
"Excuse Me: My Change Style is Showing"
Organizations don't change... the people within them do. No skill is more important in today's workplace than being able to lead change and influence others to embrace it. However, many are ill-equipped to know how to lead change and often get tripped up by their own reactions to it. This talk will provide the framework for understanding one's own reactions and preferred change style, how it "shows up", and how to leverage it effectively to help influence and lead others through change. Listeners will gain "ah-ha" insights into their own personal attitudes about Change and how these influence their own behaviors as well as those they lead.

"Mastering Change with Effective Stakeholder Engagement"
Your key stakeholders are an important part of your change initiative implementation success. During times of complex change, they have a lot of things competing for their attention. Your ability to complete your project, on time and within budget is highly dependent upon your abilities to effectively manage your stakeholder and keep them engaged with you and your project. Successfully managing your stakeholder means having a solid understanding of what is personally important to them including an intimate knowledge of their level of interest in your project, their ability to influence its success, and how they personally deal with change. Solid stakeholder relationships don't just happen. It takes intentional planning on your part as a project manager. This talk will introduce strategies that ensure your stakeholders are actively partnering with you to influence the successful implementations of your projects.

"Tricia focuses on the "heart" of change leadership and she gets to the real human level of managing change. Her messages go well beyond the typical change management concepts and she challenges leaders to dig deep to examine how their own life experiences are either positively or negatively contributing to their ability to successfully lead change initiatives. Her message is very thought-provoking and certainly not "run of the mill"."
