Are you starting 2025 being Powerful Under Pressure?

Happy New Year! We've updated the name of this newsletter to "Powerful Under Pressure," and as one of my colleagues says, "Being Powerful Under Pressure means I can stay calm in the midst of change, challenges, and uncertainty. It means I don't have to panic under pressure because I am equipped with the tools and resources to help me to be resilient and move forward with clarity and focus."

That's the focus of this newsletter, and it's my intention to share valuable tools and resources that will help you when you face chaos, change, or uncertainty. Instead of becoming panicked, paralyzed, or perturbed -- you'll have the support to respond powerfully.

Let's get you started with two resources to help you to be Powerful Under Pressure in 2025 (and beyond):

Invitation: Start 2025 Strong: 3 Early Warning Signs Your Team's Resilience Is Declining

Each month, Powerful Under Pressure hosts a leadership conversation. If you're a people leader in an organization with 50 or more employees, we'd love for you to participate in the conversation.

Our January Leadership Conversation is Start 2025 Strong: 3 Early Warning Signs Your Team's Resilience Is Declining is coming up on Wednesday, January 22, from 10-11 Pacific/1-2 pm Eastern.

As we step into 2025, the urgency to strengthen team resilience has never been greater.

Research shows that declining resilience impacts productivity, engagement, and culture—often in ways that leaders don’t notice until it’s too late.

In this interactive session, Start 2025 Strong: 3 Early Warning Signs Your Team's Resilience Is Declining, we’ll share the latest data on resilience trends and why they’re critical for sustaining high performance in today’s fast-paced environment.

Through guided discussion and our proven Dynamic Resilience Model?, we’ll help you recognize the early warning signs that signal your team’s resilience may be eroding. We'll facilitate a discussion of practical strategies to address these challenges head-on, to help you ensure your team remains adaptable, aligned, and energized to thrive in the year ahead.
