Change is gonna come. Ain’t that the truth? Change Enthusiast Cassandra Worthy taps into the power of a simple question – “What If” – as…
Founder and CEO, Change Enthusiasm® Global
With contagious energy that radiates throughout every room she steps into, Cassandra Worthy is the world’s truly disruptive thought-leader on change that companies need to build organizational resilience and adaptability. During times of major shift such as merger, acquisition, organizational restructure, new systems integration, and market disruption rarely do businesses ever face the tumultuous emotional landscape of the organization head-on. Only 10% of successful change adoption is about know-how…the other 90% is squarely centered on an organization’s motivation and willingness to embrace the change. Without addressing the emotions standing in the way of motivation, any transformation journey is stopped in its tracks. She helps organizations disrupt ‘change as usual’. Through a practical and repeatable framework, she shows them how they can transform their culture from surviving change to growing through change.

I just started my job last Monday, so I've been feeling all the feels! Excited to take action to turn my anxiety into anticipation, anger into gratitude, and choose to be better rather than bitter. I am so appreciative to have experienced her energy and honesty at our Annual Kick-off Event.”
