We're continuing our discussion on change shifts and looking at EMPLOYEE CAPACITY through the lens of the movie "Crooklyn" and its main character, Troy Carmichael.

👧🏽 See how Troy's role in her family evolves, reflecting shifts in employee capacity in organizations.

🧩 Recognize that people aren't simple equations; change involves many moving parts and considerations.

⚔️ Learn about the role of the "foil" (like early Troy), who provides essential opposition and identifies blind spots.

⏳ Discover why leaders need to proactively prepare people for change by building core competencies over time.

❓ How have you seen employee capacity shift in your own life or workplace? What are your favorite moments from "Crooklyn"?

This month we're addressing organizational development and the four key change shifts that happen when you enact change management, whether professionally or personally!

In this first episode, we're focusing on STRATEGY:

🔑 Learn why strategy is at the core of responding vs. simply reacting.

🤯 Understand how a lack of strategy can lead to constant reaction mode and emotional hijacking.

🧭 Discover why knowing your current state (whether as an individual, team, or organization) is essential before setting goals.

🌱 Reflect on how your early life experiences and social hierarchies have shaped your ability to build strategy now.

🤔 What are your thoughts on strategy? How were you raised and how does it impact your decisions now?

Ever felt stuck in a cycle of burnout and missed goals? The culprit might be closer than you think—your team.

I break down:

🔷How wrong voices sabotage hope.

🔷Why “cleaning house” isn’t ruthless—it’s necessary.

Whether you’re leading a startup, family, or personal reinvention, this episode is your wake-up call: Your environment writes your outcomes. Have you ever cut ties with someone holding you back? Join the conversation.
