Change and Thrive with Dr. Wendy L. Heckelman

As L&D professionals we know your daily mantra is “I am resilient, I am agile, and I am here to help!” Supporting your organization with the resources and learning assets that develop agility and resiliency falls on your shoulders. Leading through change is not easy under regular business circumstances, let alone during a crisis. As change experts we know that living in a VUCA world, characterized by Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity is the backdrop for what motivates strategic change and the need for leadership agility.

In today's episode my guest Phil Sigler and I share some ways you can equip your team to lead during crisis and these difficult times. Listen and/or Watch the episode and feel free to share some ways your team is thriving during change in the comment section on our Vimeo channel.

If leaders would like to thrive during this COVID-19 Pandemic maintaining a diverse and inclusive workplace is of the utmost importance!

In response to the national dialogue on racism and social justice, the business community is actively taking a role. CEOs and professional societies are issuing letters of support and acknowledging the need to be reflective and do more to overcome institutional racism. As experts in organizational culture and talent retention, WLH is asking the critical questions and leveraging our experience to support moving the dialogue forward. What steps can companies take to ensure the inclusion and retention of their diverse talent?

Diversity allows for innovative brainstorming and problem solving, a truth that is empirically supported by the fact that ethnically diverse organizations are 35% more likely to outperform their peers. In today's episode I talk about Driving Cultural Change.

Successful change does not happen if leaders are not on board! They need to Commit by owning the change and preparing to lead. Since commitment establishes the correct psychological infrastructure, it may take time to cement it!
