Welcome Back Brunch w/ the Pinquelton Group — Shift is Getting Real!

Shift is Getting Real! Surviving (& Thriving) Through Change

We know we’re supposed to roll with change, but how do we keep up when things change too fast to catch your breath? As your clients, your world — and even TTI Success Insights — moves through monumental changes, you might find yourself saying ‘ENOUGH!’ This experiential session will give you new perspective and tools for working through your latest tsunami of disruption to find new juice to roll with anything:

  • Understanding how and why change saps our energy and focus over time — and what to do about it
  • How to ‘think like an improviser’ to acknowledge and adapt to changing circumstances
  • Tools to help you pivot when a conversation or project goes off the rails
  • Recognizing your limiting stories around adaptability — and how you can flip the script

Join your hosts The Pinquelton Group for this uplifting, interactive breakfast session and walk away with a changed mindset for change and the power to go from “ENOUGH” to “Strong Enough” in the face of all the wild shift you’re facing right now!

Breakfast brunch (including morning cocktails) will be available starting @ 8AM in Encanto Foyer. Be sure to take your seats, as the Pinquelton Group will take the stage at 9AM.
