Biography

About to Quit

Early in Cassandra Worthy’s career as a chemical engineer, during the aftermath of a $5B acquisition, she almost quit. Fueled by frustration and stress, she found herself on the precipice of walking out of the office and never coming back. Had she done so, she would have become another statistic. Yet another African-American female departed from a STEM-driven industry. Top talent voluntarily resigning during a time of significant organizational shift. Another change victim.

But she didn’t.

Instead, Cassandra woke up one day and decided to view those feelings as a signal that she was sitting in a moment of opportunity. An opportunity to transform that chemistry, that feeling, into something better. To choose to do something, say something, or behave in some way that would move the needle of her work experience toward a better feeling every day. She didn’t know it at the time, but she was cultivating a teachable strategy to inspire anyone to become enthusiastic about change – to find their unique power of resilience during turbulent times.

Today, through a practical and repeatable framework, Cassandra shows organizations how they can transform their culture from surviving change to growing through change.

Change Enthusiasm®

During times of major shifts such as mergers, acquisitions, organizational restructuring, new systems integrations, and market disruptions businesses rarely face the tumultuous emotional landscape of the organization head-on.

Only 10% of successful change adoption is about know-how…the other 90% is squarely centered on an organization’s motivation and willingness to embrace the change. Without addressing the emotions standing in the way of motivation, any transformation journey is stopped in its tracks. This is where Cassandra steps in.

She has created and cultivated the unique strategy of Change Enthusiasm® which is arming individuals around the world with the means to harness the power of emotion to embrace and accelerate change and transformation journeys.
