    CLIENT CASE STUDY –
    “Adapting, Succeeding and Thriving in the Workplace”

    Thanks to a referral, I had an opportunity in 2002 to collaborate with Hewlett Packard.  I created and presented a customized half-day workshop entitled “Adapting, Succeeding and Thriving in the Workplace” at seven of their locations that would be impacted by the HP-Compaq merger that year.

    This topic turned out to be quite timely—only six months after the 9/11 tragedy—and quickly became a way for me to help my other clients provide hope, inspiration and positive direction to their staffs during those uncertain times. 

    Since creating this topic in 2002, it has become one of my most popular keynotes as well as a frequent conference breakout session and staff development workshop topic.

    I continue to offer the original title “Adapting, Succeeding and Thriving in the Workplace” as an alternate to the updated title “How to Stay Positive and Focused in Uncertain Times.” 

    This topic is ideal for clients who want to:

    • Prepare their team for forthcoming change and/or uncertainty
    • Revitalize, energize and boost staff morale
    • Celebrate, recognize and reward employees at a special event or conference

    Please take a look at client list and client testimonials.  See below for an example of content provided in this presentation.  

    I look forward to collaborating with you!  Sarita
