Let’s face it: we are in an era of relentless disruption, and work as we know it has shifted. Whether you are facing the latest tech rollout, like an AI integration, or a massive org re-design, change is everywhere, and you are right at the center. How do you handle it all? Do you resist, fight it, take flight, freeze up, or soar through it?
If you are ready to stop feeling like change is happening to you rather than for you, you are in the right place.
Welcome to The SHIFT Forward, where we cut through the noise, corporate jargon, and superficial solutions in today’s so-called “future-ready” workplaces. Each episode uncovers MegaSHIFTs, the unavoidable systemic, organizational, and societal forces that are fundamentally rewiring how we work, lead, and create value, delivering insights you need to understand and confidently adapt to this new reality
Hosted by Dr. Cindy Pace, an organizational anthropologist and global executive advisor on culture and leadership, the show draws on her two decades of experience enabling organizations, leaders, and teams to not just survive, but thrive through change.
Navigating uncertainty is challenging. The SHIFT Forward is here to empower you to move from where you are to where you need to be—change-ready and equipped to successfully lead the future. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
More from The SHIFT Forward with Dr. Cindy Pace
The world is changing faster than ever and the pace is only accelerating. While change isn’t inherently a threat, your brain may perceive it that way. Understanding your brain, recognizing your capacity limits, and learning how to interact with other humans in the age of AI will help you navigate the shifts ahead.
Leadership frameworks offer you a roadmap for how to excel at your job. But most are missing some crucial elements. Power, identity, and accountability shape our ability to lead well.
Leaders are facing pressure to help their people and their organizations navigate disruption. Trust and support are essential to building a functional workplace, but in this episode we go beyond that to explore how to build a truly great place to work.
Are you communicating at your team, or truly connecting with them?
The biggest responsibility a leader has is shaping culture. People need something to ground them, someone to look up to and a shared inspiration. You can be that inspirational leader.
