Sample Page - Evolve Your Performance

This is an example page. It’s different from a blog post because it will stay in one place and will show up in your site navigation (in most themes). Most people start with an About page that introduces them to potential site visitors. It might say something like this:

Hi there! I’m a bike messenger by day, aspiring actor by night, and this is my website. I live in Los Angeles, have a great dog named Jack, and I like piña coladas. (And gettin’ caught in the rain.)

…or something like this:

The XYZ Doohickey Company was founded in 1971, and has been providing quality doohickeys to the public ever since. Located in Gotham City, XYZ employs over 2,000 people and does all kinds of awesome things for the Gotham community.

CHANGE CUSTOMIZATION WORKSHEET

$0.00

The following worksheet (that has sample data included) is intended to support the beginning phases of developing a change initiative. While this is just a few tabs, it is not intended to be accomplished in one sitting or by one person. Customizing a change and developing the final behavior-based change continuum should include the change team and even key stakeholders, if applicable. Some of these tabs in this workbook might be the singular topic in a whiteboarding workshop. Look for the various notes and pro tips throughout the workshop to help you figure out the best way to work through this effort. If you would like some help managing this customization process, feel free to reach out to Mary directly on mary@evolveYourPerformance.com to schedule some time to talk about how we can help you customize the change for optimal results. As you go through this workbook, use the buttons to navigate through the spreadsheet and make sure to only type into spaces identified so that you don't accidentally delete some of the formulas intended to help reduce your effort.

Leadership Spitball Conversation

$0.00

Getting a clear message on what the head of an organization really wants to see as a result of a change can sometimes be much harder than it sounds. A lot of times, the leader “knows it when s/he sees it” but cannot really describe it in a concrete way to help the change leaders help ensure they truly get what they want. Having an informal “spitball” conversation with leadership is a great way get all of the thoughts out of the leader’s head and onto paper where plans can be made.
