If the modern workplace were a movie trailer, you’d be Jack Bauer—tied to a chair, beaten half to death—and here’s the twist: no one is coming to save you.

Feeling like your work world has gone from complex to downright chaotic? You’re not alone. The old playbook for managing change doesn’t work in a world that’s shifted from VUCA (Volatile, Uncertain, Complex, Ambiguous) to BANI (Brittle, Anxious, Nonlinear, Incomprehensible).

Join us for an energizing session with Dave Prior, co-author of No One Is Coming to Save You: The Power-Ups to Help You Surf the Chaos. Dave will share practical, experiment-based tools to help you design your own “power-ups” that will strengthen your resilience, sharpen your focus, and help you not just survive—but thrive—amid the chaos.

You’ll learn how to:

• Apply systems thinking to optimize your capacity and effectiveness.

• Strengthen emotional intelligence in an AI-driven workplace.

• Design and test real-world experiments to adapt and grow.

• Reclaim personal agency and become the proactive force your team needs.
