About the Webinar
“In any given moment, we have two options: to step forward into growth or to step back into safety.” With that Maslow quote, TransparentChoice CEO Stuart Easton sets the tone: practical ways to step forward bravely—and safely—when change feels overwhelming.
Guest speaker Rebecca Reynolds— author of Thresholds of Change: The Way Through Transformational Times and CEO of Rebecca Reynolds Consulting—shares a field‑tested framework for navigating disruption. Drawing on decades of work across government, non‑profits, and communities, she explains how the change process moves through clear stages—Instigation (signals of change), the Liminal (the uncomfortable “in‑between”), and Metabolization (when new ways start to take hold)—and how leaders can align their actions to each stage.
Together, Rebecca and Stuart explore why executives must project clarity under extreme uncertainty, how inclusive planning reduces resistance by making people part of the change, and how PMOs and portfolio leaders can connect strategy, change management, and delivery to avoid overload and failure. You’ll also hear a real example—from wildfire‑prevention prioritization across millions of acres—showing how transparent criteria and broad participation produce decisions that stick.
Because while you can’t stop the ground from shaking, you can stop faceplanting.
