Grow Through CHANGE
15 years of real-world M&A experience distilled
into instantly-applicable mindset, behavior,
and tools to grow through change.
70% of change programs fail1.
Why?
Because organizations fail to acknowledge the biggest change adoption factor.
Your people.
When your change plan focuses only on the business strategy, responsibilities, and timelines, it is missing
Your people’s emotions and beliefs that power the change.
It’s Time for a New Blueprint
Cassandra gives your people the framework to transform their fear of change into fuel for personal and organizational growth

Hi! I am Cassandra.
Early on in my career, when my company was in the aftermath of a $5B acquisition, I almost quit. Fueled by frustration and stress, I found myself on the precipice of walking out of the office and never coming back. Had I done so, I would have become another statistic. Yet another Africa-American female departed from a STEM-driven industry. Top talent voluntarily resigning during a time of significant organizational shift. Another change victim.
But I didn’t.
Instead, I woke up one day and decided to view those feelings as a signal that I was sitting in a moment of opportunity.
An opportunity to transform that chemistry, that feeling into something better. To choose every day to do something, say something, behave in some way that would move the needle of my work experience towards a better feeling. I didn’t know it at the time, but I was cultivating a teachable strategy to inspire anyone to become enthusiastic about change, to find their unique power of resilience during turbulent times.
Today, I help organizations disrupt ‘change as usual’. Through a practical and repeatable framework, I show them how they can transform their culture from surviving change to growing through change.
