Susan Odle Speaking Topics

  • An Exercise in Mindset and Common Language

    The only constant in life is change"". Heraclitus

    We've all had the experience of using a word or a phrase, knowing what it meant to us, but realizing at some point that the person, or people, hearing it have different understanding and expectations because their meaning differed. This lack of alignment in words and expectations can have devastating consequences when you require a collective of people to align towards a common strategic outcome that requires things to be different than they are today.

    • Is a 'goal' a strategic outcome or a milestone to complete this fiscal quarter?
    • Have all levels of the business bought into what it means to change?

    Companies need to give alignment in language, understanding and expectations more weight, which is why 70% of transformation initiatives fail. (Gartner, McKinsey, UC Berkeley, etc.)

    An Exercise in Mindset & Common Language is an interactive keynote on the topic of Operationalizing Change that encompasses tactical Change Management, allowing every member of a targeted or diverse audience to think through opportunities or problems in their world and confirm if common language, understanding, expectations and guardrails are present to assess the probability of succeeding at change.

    Attendee Results:

    • Self-assess the state of common language in your environment and how it may impact your ability to succeed.
    • Self-assess the state of alignment and buy-in at all levels of the business for the change required, whether capturing a strategic opportunity or solving a strategic problem.
    • Know when to fail fast and start again.
    • Learn how to create deeper bonds with peers, managers and subordinates.
    • Gain clarity on the next steps needed to achieve desired results efficiently.
