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

Resilience 3.0™

Why Giving Up is Better Than Grit

Resilience is great… but is it enough? Current resilience lessons are often limited to the cliches of positivity, perseverance, and never (ever!) giving up. But exciting new research reveals that giving up (strategically) might be exactly what it takes to be successful.
 
If your team needs realistic resilience strategies, Courtney’s principles of Productive Persistence™ will prevent burnout and foster flexibility. She’ll share practical techniques for determining when to persevere on a goal vs. when to pivot, so you can spend less time on dead ends and more time making progress.

After the session, participants will be able to…

  • Recognize why “persistence” and “resilience” create hidden barriers to achievement
  • Identify the difference between a goal and a plan
  • Move on from change, uncertainty, and disappointment faster
  • Apply a simple framework to evaluate competing needs and decide which to prioritize
