Cassandra Worthy had her entire career at Procter & Gamble mapped out, from internship to retirement. Then overnight, everything changed: her company was acquired, and the future she had carefully planned disappeared. Instead of letting the fear and frustration break her, she turned her experience navigating corporate disruption into a framework that now helps Fortune 500 companies move from reacting to change to leading through it. In this episode, Cassandra joins Tim to share how to stop letting change happen to you and start letting it work for you.
Cassandra Worthy developed the Change Enthusiasm framework to help individuals and organizations transform fear, frustration, and anxiety into fuel for growth. She is the author of Change Enthusiasm and a sought-after keynote speaker on some of the world's biggest stages.
