GRAY RHINO PROOFING YOUR FUTURE
(Customized to Your Industry or Firm)
(Can be adapted for virtual breakout sessions, read-out, and follow-up)
Gray Rhino events are highly probable, give clear warnings and have high impact. Yet all too often, leaders fail to plan for, recognize, or respond to obvious dangers, whether personal, organizational, civic, or global. Successful organizations identify and confront Gray Rhino threats instead of letting themselves be trampled. Michele’s provocative talk lays out a framework for recognizing Gray Rhinos and the pitfalls and opportunities at each of their five stages, from denial to action –not just to avoid highly obvious dangers, but to see opportunities where others do not. She customizes each talk to your industry or organization’s needs. In the workshop version, she applies her five-stage gray rhino analytical framework to facilitate reflections and conversations leading to actionable strategies that turn challenges into opportunities. Topics have included climate change, industry disruptions, re-skilling, and personal leadership development.
