Empower your culture to thrive during change
50% to 70% of change initiatives fail in organizations. Most of your initiatives fail during launch. Team differences and conflicting priorities get in the way of results. When your managers spend their energy on engaging their teams, rather forcing change through a fire hose, they contribute to strong cultures that sustain change. We introduce three concepts and tools to help you create a thriving culture that runs on a united purpose. These tools can shift your differences into capabilities and complement your efforts to transform and sustain your bottom line results.
Cultivate healthy relationships and eliminate toxic ones
What if I told you that you have the power to decode the needs and wants of those around you? What if there is a way for you to clearly see, hear and feel what motivates those you work with? What if their stressors become as clear to you as the words you are reading? During this highly engaging session, you will uncover your priorities, motivators, and stress triggers that shape your team experience. Leave with a better understanding of styles around you and the impact on your results. Learn how opposing styles in the workplace get even better results. And learn why your brain gravitates toward partners who are your opposite.

I believe airing out all of the team’s concern regarding alignment and who does what in front of the whole team was beneficial to all. It was important to have that discussion and you helped facilitate it in a non-threatening and professional manner. You are by far the best facilitator our team had in the last eight years.”

“Dr. L, you have an amazing gift in your ability to coach your clients. You distill any situation down to what is really going on. You uncover the underlying motivation behind their actions and you address them in a way that is non-threatening for everyone involved! I’m a better manager because of the time I’ve spent with you. I thank you for the clarity you’ve imparted while coaching me over seemingly insurmountable barriers”.
– Jeannie McCabe, Vice President, Catholic Health Services
Prior to her years of sleepless nights doing her doctoral research on leadership and change, Loubna led the learning and development function in both the profit and nonprofit world for over 20 years.
Loubna has interviewed hundreds of leaders about their work relationships during change. Assumptions we make about others lead to missed opportunities, resentment and silos. Collaboration means that those who feel different can make a meaningful contribution.
Loubna’s work attests that thorough investigation reveals systematic, yet simple solutions to major culture challenges. And that by truly respecting the talents within and around you, potential will show its face.
Change is inevitable, and whether you create the consequences of change or inherit them, there’s a stark difference between leaders willing to address their shifting cultures versus those living in denial that challenges do not exist.
Loubna is the cofounder and CEO of Mind Market, a resource and coaching center for organizations and startups prioritizing cultures of brilliance over systems of unnecessary change and chaos.
Let’s collaborate to ensure a transformative experience.
