Your people are in a flood right now.
Leaders have launched the initiatives and bought the tools. Results are slow to follow. Your people are tired of new initiatives and unsure how to carry out what was decided.
Every organization has a flood. It might be AI, a market shift, a strategy that stopped working or a steady stream of new priorities. The shape changes. The instinct stays the same: close the door, hold the line and wait for things to go back to normal.
Ayo Jones lost everything in Hurricane Harvey. Chase the Flood™ comes from that loss and the three-part framework that guided her to clarity in crisis. Your leaders leave knowing what matters first, with a plan their people can carry out on Monday.
What organizers and attendees say
Absolutely inspiring. There is no flood that isn’t worth coming up with an action for, to come out on top.
Hannah Winkler
She took a horrible personal tragedy and used it as a hook anecdote for her speech, relating it perfectly to issues we have with technology and AI.
Teresa
Very inspiring! We are all facing a flood. I love the push to get out of just comfortable. I have to trust myself.
Kristin
Chase the Flood™ gives your people three moves.
Every person in the room works through all three, so your team leaves with a shared way to decide, hold and move.
- Drawthe Line
- HoldIt Under Pressure
- Pushto What Comes Next
Your people leave with a clear purpose for the change they’re leading, a short list of what matters most and a plan for the pressure ahead, with contingencies for when things get tough.
