The Uncertainty Solution Workshop

A leadership development and team performance training program that improves decision making under pressure

In fast-changing environments, leaders and teams often feel stuck – either because they’re hesitating to move forward at all or because they move too quickly and have to rework the same problem when it doesn’t achieve the desired result.

Uncertainty often causes us to rely on the problem-solving approaches that have long suited our own success, yet when you have to consider new variables and regularly changing conditions, we often need to expand our thinking. And, those familiar styles that are easy to access can hinder our effectiveness.

The Uncertainty Solution gives leaders and teams hands-on practice in recognizing how they react under sustained pressure, making smarter decisions and taking action that moves important work forward.

Unlike most resilience or change management trainings, this session does not treat transformation as a one-time event. It approaches disruption as an operating condition that requires a human-centric approach. When leaders and teams understand what happens to people in uncertainty, they can apply their Thinking and Behavioral Attributes to problem solve effectively.

Who is this training for?

The half-day training can be delivered for leadership or team audiences. This program is ideal for executives, managers, teams or employee populations experiencing significant change in the workplace, including reorganizations, leadership transitions, mergers or acquisitions, culture transformation, shifting strategic priorities or technological transformation.

It’s also beneficial for leaders or teams that regularly need to make decisions under volatile conditions, where information is incomplete and the context keeps changing.

In the Session, Participants Will:

  • Explore their personal stress responses through the lens of cognitive neuroscience and their Thinking and Behavioral preferences
  • Uncover the signals that indicate that they’re stuck and having trouble problem solving their way out of a challenge
  • Leverage the Emergenetics Attributes to expand their decision-making capabilities and take smart action
  • Amplify their resilience and ability to tolerate prolonged pressure
  • Develop new habits and build practical skills to navigate change in the workplace
  • Recognize team pressure points and how to collaborate productively in uncertain conditions (team-session)

Your Experience

Program Structure

The immersive workshop uses experiential activities and our human-centric methodology to expand creative thinking and resilience in uncertain conditions. Attendees will identify a workplace challenge they’re facing today and identify the Thinking and Behavioral signals that indicate their problem-solving bandwidth is limited.

They’ll practice applying personalized strategies to use different Thinking and Behavioral Attributes to evaluate the problem and take action. Participants walk away with a specific approach to test as well as repeatable framework to navigate future disruption.

Organizational Outcomes

In addition to the individual benefits to attendees and teams, participating organizations benefit from:

  • Fewer costly reactive decisions and errors made under pressure
  • Elevated capacity for innovation and problem-solving during periods of disruption
  • Sustained productivity and momentum through transformations
  • Reduced attrition risk and hidden costs of a burned out workforce
  • Amplified collaboration and decision velocity when it matters most

Post-Workshop Resources

Walk away with new tools to address uncertainty:

• A five-step process - The Uncertainty Method - that you can repeat any time a challenge leaves you feeling stuck
• A field guide you can use to identify your stress responses and diagnose when pressure is impacting your capacity to think and take action
• Specific next steps and actions to expand your thinking and identify deliberate next steps to the obstacles you and your teams face
