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 African-American female departed from a STEM-driven industry. Top talent voluntarily resigning during a time of significant organizational shift. Another change victim.<\/p>\n<p>But I didn\u2019t.<\/p>\n<p>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.

Through a practical and repeatable framework, I show them how they can transform their culture from surviving change to growing through change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Early on in my career, when my company was in the aftermath of a $5B acquisition, I almost quit.
