Workshops

Build Leader and Employee Change Capacity
The pace of change will not decrease. We must raise our capacity to embrace and harness our natural power to adapt. I work with clients to tailor and deliver workshops that raise the resilience level at every level of the organization, from CEO to PMO to frontline staff.
What I Do:
- Educate leaders and employees about the process for rapid adaptation
- Provide tools for assessing, leading and positioning change for maximum adoption
- Break down the real reasons for resistance, and how to help employees reframe it
- Identify techniques for building change capacity on a daily basis
- Engage team members in action-focused conversations about how to build a change-positive culture
The Goal:
Armed with new perspectives, tools, and approaches, leaders and employees are equipped to positively support change at ever level.

“My experience with Jeff Skipper has been extremely positive. Jeff’s industry insights are like adding an additional “key man” to the management team. His points of view are welcome and help our company move forward on decisions that tend to get shelved.

Forge Your Strategy
Consider the power of having your entire team focused on the right target for the future. Vague goals and dated strategies won’t align and motivate your team to high performance. Develop a laser focus on the future you want and set the priorities to get there.
What I Do:
- Reveal relevant trends critical to your industry
- Guide envisioning of a future where you lead in your space
- Evaluate corporate priorities to determine what will get you to winning fastest
- Identify measures that indicate you are tracking for success
- Inspire excitement in a shared vision
The Goal:
You will have a clear strategic goal and top priorities set. Depending on focus, we can also align individual performance targets, refine your short term action list, and frame the annual budget.
