The pace of change is skyrocketing, pushing the limits of even the most agile organizations. Today’s employees show increased symptoms of change fatigue and burnout. Their ability to cope with change is 50% of pre-pandemic levels and their willingness to support change has dropped from 74% to 38%. No matter the size, every change requires new learning.

Explore strategies that maximize the brain’s capacity to learn and embrace change. You’ll leave with new tools for creating training that accelerates adaptability and resilience across your organization.
