479 Master the Chemistry of Change with Cassandra Worthy

Author: Justin Tamsett | Fitness Business Leader January 24, 2023 Duration: 27:57

After a $5 billion company acquisition, Cassandra Worthy, frustrated and stressed, almost quit her job.  Just another top talent voluntarily resigning during a significant organizational change. Instead, she woke up one day and decided to view those feelings as a signal that she was sitting in a moment of opportunity. 

Cassandra Worthy is here to preach about cultivating a mindset and shifting your perspective, so you can ensure your organization has the tools to grow through change. She discusses their journey from a positive and optimistic child to embracing the difficult emotions that come with change, while still maintaining optimism and positivity. She emphasizes that it is not about blindly being optimistic in the face of change, but rather embracing the difficult emotions and using them as signals to guide people through change. 

Cassandra is this year's keynote speaker at IHRSA Conference 2023. Listen here for a sneak glimpse of her session topic.
