Why Adaptability is Crucial Now, More than Ever

“The world will change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 100 years.”

How prepared is your team or organization to respond to rapid and disruptive change in the next 13 years?

Consider the impact of change on the workforce:

  • 40% of jobs that exist today will not exist in 10 years
  • 375M people may need to switch occupations & reskill
  • Depression & anxiety cost the global economy $1 trillion in lost productivity every year


We work with clients who want to be proactive and learn to develop the skills and mindsets to successfully meet the challenges and the opportunities that change presents.

I am passionate about helping my clients make sense of the complexity and challenges they face. As a certified Adaptability Quotient coach, facilitator, and trainer with over 25 years experience working in both the public and private sector , I work with my clients to help them build the adaptive capacity of their teams to navigate change, improve team performance and engagement, and develop sustainable change that helps them do better work together, faster and more effectively.

Lead Conversations that Count

In a world where there are new normals for online and in-person, meetings have transformed – or at least they should have.

For better or worse, meetings are crucial for teams to gather to exchange views, understand problems, figure out ways to overcome obstacles and innovate new solutions. But most meetings suck, and the rise of online connection has simply magnified the problem.

We need to make meetings matter and conversations count. Can you imagine feeling excited about scheduling a team meeting? How about holding meetings that participants can’t wait to attend? This doesn’t have to be a fantasy. Much needs to change, and this book shows you how.

Carolyn helps her clients create clarity from chaos, and to help strengthen relationships and communication so organizations can be more future-proof and resilient. Her services are deployed at three different levels: organization-wide; teams; and individual leaders.
