Well why don’t you come back to us in 2 weeks with a plan for how you are going to do it
This was the response of an executive to the presentation I had just given on why the leadership needed to reduce the number of staff touchpoints a client must make before they could access our full scope of services. I was stunned. I had never expected that I would need to come up with an operational plan for how to action our organizational strategy, isn’t that someone else’s job?
What effect could I really have as a mid-level manager with the smallest team in the organization and no jurisdiction over the service-delivery area?
I didn’t know exactly how we were going to do it, but there was one thing I was SO SURE OF:
our organization had EVERYTHING IT NEEDED to overhaul our services to create sustainable change in clients lives based on the latest evidence, while keeping our client experience as our highest priority.
Fast forward 24 months to when we received the 2017 Calgary United Way Social Innovation Award for our work implementing the CUPS Resiliency Framework. We DID have everything it took to make our vision a reality!
One person can’t do it alone. but it takes one person to start. Why not you?
Instead of waiting for permission or for someone else to take action, why not you?
You UNDERSTAND the situation like not one else. You CARE DEEPLY. You have VISION. You are RESOURCEFUL.
You have everything it takes to take action on what FIRES YOU UP.
Let’s talk about HOW.
READY TO take action on what has you so fired up?
Tell Me More About the Disruption Strategy Accelerator
What is the disruption strategy accelerator?
10-week incubator to clarify your focus, build your strategy and begin taking action on the change you seek to make in your organization.
Create a tangible action plan using the strengths and resources you have available to you.
It is a combination of video lessons, live implementation calls and interactive community forum. Bi-weekly 90 minute live implementation calls. Bring specific questions to gain strategic advice on how to advance your change project.
Examples of where one person took initiative to create a movement
⤖ Leading a Diversity & Inclusion initiative in a mid-tier mining company
⤖ Sustainbility initiative across acute care hospital
⤖ Self-care initiative in an emergency veterinary hospital
Other notes: capitalize on the opportunity or maybe you are starting on your own.
What if you didn’t need an elaborate change management strategy? What if you could employ tools from across the disciplines of implementation science, social innovation, systems change and change management to create a flexible (and sometimes emergent) strategy that could get others on board, build momentum and create the change you wish to see in the world.
Is the disruption Strategy accelerator right for me?
The size and scope or even the specifics of the change you seek to make is not important, however, you do need to have a sense of what you care most about and a general vision of the change you are seeking to make. The bulk of this program is in the implementation calls so in order for you to get the most out of this investment, you should have a change that you are leading. If you do not have a change in mind, check out Think Like a Changemaker Leadership Program.
You do not have to leader's title, but you do need to have a leader's mindset.

how your brain keeps you from getting what you want
Your brain does not care about the deep connection required to fulfill your desire to be deeply seen and known
From years of working with people at all leadership levels and from all backgrounds, I have discovered that what most people most deeply desire is to be seen and known for who they are. However the primary purpose of our brain is to keep us safe. To keep us safe our brains focus on efficiency. The become efficient by reinforcing what we we already do. Even though most of us operate from the neck up in order to keep up with our demands in the world, we are not fully aware of how our brains are wired to keep us efficient and safe. Our brains do not care about the deep connection that is required to fulfill our desire to be seen and known. Consciously or unconsciously, we face this tension between what we most deeply want and the level at which our brain operates most of the time. We need support to understand and manage this tension so that we can live the life we truly want to be living.
You spend more than 30% of your time at work. It can be daunting to consider any shifts that have such a pervasive effect in your life but what if that was a positive shift, one that had you doing more of what you love and spending more time with those you love?! It is possible.
If you have reached the point in your life where you are ready to pay attention to that deep aching within you that is asking for something more, it's time we talk.
I work with leaders who reinvent themselves. I understand the level of pressure you face in the career and personal decisions you make every day. The stakes are high and those around you are deeply impacted. It can be difficult to find the support you need to reinvent you, when those around you have a high personal investment in the outcome of decisions you make. I alleviate this pressure by providing a framework and space for you to create the life you see yourself in.
It is time we talked about that feeling you have.
