Sooner or later “shift happens” to all of us. You may have seen it coming. Or maybe it took you by surprise.

Sometimes it happens to your team, to your organization. And it can happen to your community and your country.

And when it does, what do you do? How do you cope? How do you respond, personally, emotionally, professionally, pragmatically. Do we fold under pressure or rise to the challenge.

Sana Mahboob and Tony Myers have a combined 55 years of experience in working with individuals, teams, organizations and communities where shift happens.

Join Tony and Sana, for a dynamic, interactive session on how we can survive and thrive and turn “shift” into opportunity.
