Join us for a live virtual session on October 29, 2025
10a – 11a PT / 1p – 2p ET
Change is no longer a question of if, but when. As an Advancement leader, you are on the frontlines, tasked with implementing the systems and strategies that drive change forward. But even the best-laid plans can be derailed by a culture that resists change.
Are you struggling to get buy-in for new initiatives? Do you face the “we’ve always done it this way” mentality? Are you preparing for a major project and worried about team adoption?
It’s time to stop fighting against your culture and start shaping it.
Join Steven Herrmann, DePaul University; Caroline Chang, Kindsight; and Christopher Campbell and Kyle Cadieux, Attain Partners, for a dynamic conversation that moves beyond theory to provide a practical roadmap for cultural transformation. We’ll give you the tools to assess your organization’s readiness, diagnose obstacles, and cultivate an environment where change can thrive.
In this 60-minute session, you will learn how to:
- Diagnose Your Culture: Learn proven methods to accurately assess your organization’s current capacity and appetite for change.
- Build Your Transformation Toolkit: Gain actionable strategies to prepare your team, build momentum, and turn resistance into a powerful force for progress.
- Learn from Real-World Success Stories: Hear firsthand from a leader who just navigated a complex, transformational project and came out stronger on the other side.
