Workshops That Transform How You Lead Change
Women in Continuous Improvement often carry the weight of change on their shoulders. We influence without authority, coach without a clear playbook, and are expected to “get buy-in” from people who may not even want the change in the first place. It’s no wonder so many of us go home exhausted and wondering if we’re really making an impact.
​
The Work Behind These Workshops
​
Across hundreds of coaching hours with women in CI roles, a pattern became impossible to ignore: most of the resistance we’re fighting isn’t just “out there in the organization” — we’re accidentally inviting it in through how we respond to pressure, uncertainty, and pushback.
​
Once we learn to spot those patterns (I call them the Resistobots™), we can learn a completely different way of leading change — one that builds credibility, increases influence, and makes the work feel easier instead of heavier.
These workshops are designed to help you make that shift.
​
Workshop Offerings
​
Below are the three core workshop experiences organizations bring me in to deliver. Each one can be tailored for CI practitioners, leaders, or cross-functional groups.
Meet Your Resistobots™:
Why Change Feels Hard (and What to Do About It)
What participants learn:
-
The six most common Resistobots™ that show up in CI work
-
How internal resistance invites external resistance
-
How to recognize and interrupt self-sabotaging patterns
-
How to coach through resistance without burning out
Perfect for:
Teams who feel like change is constant uphill work and want to understand the human side of improvement.
transFORM™: A Better Way to Lead Change
Once you notice the Resistobots™, the next question is: now what?
The transFORM™ workshop teaches participants a practical, repeatable framework for shifting how they approach resistance so they stop battling change and start creating momentum.
​
Participants learn how to:
-
Face the Bot
-
Observe the Scene
-
Reveal the Root
-
Make an Alliance
​
Each step builds the confidence and skill to influence without force and coach without rescuing.
​
Perfect for:
CI practitioners, supervisors, managers, and change leaders who need stronger influence skills and less friction.
Becoming a C.H.A.N.G.E. Shaper™
If Resistobots™ are the problem, C.H.A.N.G.E. Shapers™ are the antidote.
This workshop focuses on the six traits required to make change feel easier, more collaborative, and more effective — especially when you don’t have formal authority.
​
Participants learn to:
-
Connect with compassion and curiosity
-
Help with intention
-
Advocate for what matters
-
Navigate the business environment
-
Get to the right people

Energize positive momentum
Perfect for:
Organizations who want to build a healthier, more resilient CI culture and develop leaders who can influence across levels.
