Customized Experiential 2-3hr Deep Dive
WHAT: This program is designed with company leaders, and content is delivered in concert with leadership to address the goals and challenges of change. The program is between 2-3hrs and is a robust deep dive experience that incorporates transparency and trust into the session by breaking Gary’s content out with content from leadership. For example, Gary will take a 60min presentation and break it out into four 15min segments. Each 15min segment would be followed by a 10-15min content piece from a leader addressing how Gary’s content relates to the organization and the feedback they have received from employee responses. By the end of this session, employees at every level will feel heard but will also have a better understanding of what the leadership is thinking and opportunities for how to move forward together.
AUDIENCE: This deep dive can be delivered to an entire organization or divisions of the organization. Participants take a brief (anonymous) engagement quiz beforehand to share their experiences around change within the organization; the results are presented by company leaders in their portion of the virtual event.
WHY GARY: Gary is masterful at analyzing challenges when it comes to change within an organization and their people. Drawing from over 30-years of consulting and coaching C-Suite leaders as well as having written three books on change, Gary helps design this program with leaders to create the most engaging and impactful experience that will feel more like a collaborative working session with viewers than a virtual presentation.
