This week, we convened ~70 executives from clients, Sia & Blackstone for our first Raise the Bar NYC Event! We are grateful and energized by this esteemed group that came together for great conversations, stunning NYC views, and invaluable insights on what it means to lead in 2025 and beyond. Sia New York Market Leader Christine Andrukonis moderated a panel discussion with Sia Global CEO Matthieu Courtecuisse & Blackstone Executive 'CJ' Christopher James, and a few key themes emerged regarding the recipe for success during these unprecedented, unpredictable times: ? Empathy: Listen to your various stakeholders to ensure you understand diverse perspectives—and then connect the dots between them so you can strike the right balance between customer and employee needs, as well as the needs and interests of investors, regulators, politicians, advocates and more. ? Resilience: Build agility and stability inside your organization so you can drive strategic long-term growth and progress while also adapting to day-to-day volatility in the geopolitical environment without getting distracted and fueling anxiety. ? Optimism: Approach everything with informed optimism by mobilizing your teams to translate challenges and roadblocks into opportunities, and lean into the theme of reinvention with new technologies and unconventional approaches to problem-solving. We also shared our 3rd Annual Change Report, which includes insights on workplace transformation and can be downloaded here: https://lnkd.in/gS2pYhWn ? #RaiseTheBar #Leadership #ChangeManagement #Resilience #Sia #Blackstone #Optimistsforchange
