From Disruption to Direction

Leading Teams Through Constant Change


Featuring the World’s Bestselling Author, James Patterson, and New York Times Bestselling Author Patrick Leddin, Ph.D.

Disruption isn’t the threat—unprepared leaders are.

As an HR or L&D leader, you recognize that disruption is no longer occasional; it’s the status quo. Strategies shift overnight, AI evolves faster than decisions can be made, and transformation is constant.

The real risk isn’t disruption itself, but leaders who aren’t equipped to lead through it. Leadership that falls behind the pace of change leads to conflict, burnout, slower productivity, and stalled growth.

Disruption is inevitable, but leadership gaps don’t have to be. Join the world’s bestselling author, James Patterson, and New York Times bestselling author Patrick Leddin, PhD as they explore what it takes to lead through disruption, not just survive it.

In this webcast, learn how you and your leaders can:

  • Make smarter, faster decisions by leveraging the core dynamics behind constant change.
  • Identify disruptive strengths across the team and combine complementary talents to improve collaboration and creativity.
  • Anticipate challenges, test ideas fast, and use the Disruption Loop to turn disruption into momentum.

Don’t let disruption outpace your leaders. Equip them to lead through it with clarity, confidence, and speed. Reserve your spot today.
