ReVisionary Thinking®

The Science and Strategy of Adapting to Change

Can you reach your goals, even if things aren’t going the way you expect? Most people (and organizations) are good at setting goals and making plans, but not as good at revising those plans when things change. But that’s the real work of resilience.  Backed by Courtney’s data-driven research, ReVisionary Thinking® offers concrete strategies for building “future readiness” and blazing a new path when the goalposts move on you.

After the session, participants will be able to…

  • Avoid the typical mistakes people make when confronted with change
  • Improve mental flexibility as individuals and teams
  • Understand why gut instinct fails you in unfamiliar situations—and how to counter it
  • Generate more (and more innovative!) ideas when solving problem
