Does every business change feel like an epic quest to slay a dragon? Learn how to drop the armor and stop preparing for battle. I talk about driving intentional change in the workplace to help audiences effectively overcome resistance, manage expectations, and build community and trust.
In today’s ever-changing work environment, leading through uncertainty can feel like an epic quest. But what if driving organizational change didn’t have to be a battle?
In her engaging keynote, Katherine Robinette explores how leaders can adopt a more thoughtful and collaborative approach to change management, rooted in building trust and community, rather than charging ahead in armor.
Drawing from real-world examples — ranging from city council meetings to theater management to corporate mergers — Katherine breaks down her proven five-step process to help leaders successfully navigate workplace transformations. Attendees will learn to define clear goals, meet audience needs, simplify adoption, build trust through transparent communication, and plan for inevitable adjustments.
Katherine’s refreshing approach reframes change from an intimidating battle into an opportunity for growth, connection, and innovation. With actionable insights and relatable stories, this keynote is designed to equip leaders with the understanding they need to implement lasting, positive change in their organizations — no dragons in sight.
