  Leveraging Change Management to Increase Talent Development Success

  In times of change, the importance of Learning and Development can sometimes become deprioritized in favor of what are perceived to be more pressing priorities as leaders focus too heavily on reaching the ‘finish line’ to the detriment of ensuring that the necessary knowledge is in place to effectively get there.

  By understanding the role of Organizational Change Management…what it means, and how it is introduced, managed, and measured within organizations, Learning and Development Employees and Consultants will be better positioned to persuade leaders of the importance of the importance of their role for both the short and longer term success of their organization.

  A CEO's Insights for Remote Associate Development

    
  

  As we continue our free Town Hall series, we’re exploring the corporate resilience and adaptability necessary to navigate the COVID-19 pandemic. Many corporations had to rapidly flex a large portion of their workforce to work from home. Employee engagement and development of this forced remote workforce presents a whole new challenge. We’ll dive into how a successful Remote Associate small business develops their own workforce as Jeremy Jameson interviews Sasha Rowe, Founder and CEO of Rivvly, a Remote Associate and Remote Team Development company.  

  Sasha Rowe is a social entrepreneur, Founder and CEO of Rivvly, a Remote Associate (advanced Virtual Assistant) and Remote Team Development company dedicated to empowering family and the future of work. Sasha joined the Forbes Young Entrepreneur Council in 2018 where she has been featured for her expertise in Entrepreneurship, Cross-Functional Leadership, and Branding. Sasha is also a speaker and has been hosted by Launch DFW/Dallas New Tech, Women in Tech/Women Business Center Dallas, and Propellant Labs, just to name a few. Sasha is a Texas native, having spent most of her time in the DFW area, but has worked alongside Silicon Valley’s best in San Francisco and spent a year in Chicago networking with Entrepreneurs and Investors.

  Jeremy Jameson is a Talent Development and Management leader for a Fortune 200 company in the DFW area. Jeremy brings a wealth of knowledge around cultural and process improvement, leadership development and engagement solutions and has excelled as a creative liaison across multiple organizational levels. Jeremy retired from the US Navy as a Naval Flight Officer in 2018.
