HELP YOUR PEOPLE GET GOOD AT CHANGE
Practical, science-backed workshop experiences for navigating constant change.
Change does not happen only during major disruption. It arrives in big, medium, and everyday moments - while people are still expected to make good decisions, support one another, lead well, and continue performing.
The THIS Platform™ brings together Nina’s science, stories and change framework to help people understand their response to change, work with that response, and choose what they do next.
Shared language. Practical tools. Better decisions while change is happening.
“The conversation about the ideas and tools Nina introduced is ongoing - she put a few new words into our lexicon."

THE SUSTAINED SUCCESS WORKSHOP™
Practical Tools for Navigating Constant Change
The Sustained Success Workshop™ is an energetic, interactive learning experience that introduces participants to the four parts of the THIS Framework™.
Participants explore how the brain responds to uncertainty, identify the change they are currently navigating, and practice practical tools for moving from automatic reaction to more thoughtful response.
This is not abstract inspiration or a passive wellness session. Participants reflect, write, talk, move, make decisions, and apply the ideas to real situations in their work and lives.
Participants learn how to:
Recognize the difference between a Big THIS, a Medium THIS, and an everyday this.
Understand what happens in the brain and body when circumstances change.
Zoom out and place the current moment into a larger timeline.
Separate confirmed facts from fear, assumptions, and predictions.
Identify the people who help them see clearly and move wisely.
Notice the stories their brain is creating—and decide whether those stories are useful or accurate.
Apply the framework to a current workplace or personal challenge.
Complete a practical What I’ll Do With THIS action plan.
Participants leave with:
A personal Change Response Snapshot.
Shared language they can use with colleagues and managers.
Practical tools for each part of the THIS Framework™.
A facts-versus-story exercise.
A personal support map.
Greater clarity about one immediate next decision.
The goal is simple:
I understand what happens to me during change. I have language for it. And I know what to do next.
GO DEEPER WITH THE THIS SERIES
The Four-Session THIS Series is a deeper learning experience built around the four parts of Nina’s framework.
Each session stands alone while also building toward a complete set of change-capacity skills. Sessions include accessible science, memorable stories, individual reflection, interactive exercises, workplace application, and between-session practice.
-
TIMELINE
Zoom Out: Use Perspective to Navigate What Is Happening Now
This moment is part of the timeline. It is not the whole story.
Participants widen their perspective, identify evidence of previous adaptation, and recognize the strengths and capabilities they have developed through earlier challenges.
Tools may include the Lifetime Timeline, the Reverse Resume™, the “I Have Handled THIS Before” inventory, and Zoom In/Zoom Out exercises.
-
ISOLATE
Separate the Facts from the Fear
Name what is real. Then decide what it needs.
Participants learn to distinguish confirmed facts from assumptions, predictions, rumors, and automatic fear responses.
Tools may include the Facts/Story/Decision worksheet, Circle of Control, life-threatening versus life-annoying exercise, and one-decision-at-a-time planning.
-
PEOPLE
Build the Circle That Helps You Move Forward
Identify people who help you see clearly and move wisely.
Participants examine how the people around them can regulate, escalate, clarify, challenge, support, or unintentionally keep them stuck.
Tools may include the Edit Your Circle map, Support Menu, Regulate or Escalate reflection, and team support agreements.
-
STORY
Change the Story That Shapes What You Do Next
You do not have to believe every story your brain produces.
Participants learn to recognize automatic narratives, test them against the facts, and choose language that is accurate, responsible, and useful.
Tools may include the Catch the Automatic Story worksheet, “What Else Could Be True?” exercise, prediction-versus-fact practice, and Future Self Statement.
BUILT FOR PARTICIPATION - NOT PASSIVE LISTENING
The learning experience is designed to feel alive, intelligent, useful, and human.
Participants do more than listen. They interact, reflect, discuss, apply, and decide. Every activity connects to a real behavior, workplace challenge, or next step.
The experience is:
Energetic but credible.
Personal but not therapeutic.
Scientific but accessible.
Reflective but action-oriented.
Fun but never frivolous.
FLEXIBLE FORMATS
The Sustained Success Workshop™ and THIS Series can be delivered in person or virtually and customized to reflect the organization’s people, culture, and current challenges.
Available formats include:
90-minute introduction following a keynote
Three-hour interactive workshop
Half-day flagship workshop
Full-day customized experience
Four-session THIS Series
Leadership, team, or organization-wide cohorts
Reinforcement and refresher sessions
Organizations may begin with Nina’s You’re Wired for THIS™: Navigating Constant Change keynote, continue with the foundational workshop, and deepen the learning through the Four-Session THIS Series.
MORE THAN A ONE-TIME EVENT
The goal is not for employees to remember that Nina delivered a good workshop.
The goal is for them to use the language and tools when the next change arrives.
The THIS Platform™ can grow with an organization through participant materials, manager conversation guides, reinforcement prompts, refresher sessions, new cohorts, and customized applications tied to real organizational change.
This is change-capacity training designed to remain useful long after the session is over.

Nina has spent a lifetime navigating high expectations, sudden change, reinvention, and sustained performance.

She combines accessible neuroscience, practical tools, humor, deeply human stories, and strong facilitation to create an experience participants remember—and use.
The science makes it credible.
The stories make it memorable.
The framework makes it usable.
GETTING GOOD AT CHANGE CHANGES EVERYTHING.
Give your people a practical way to understand change, support one another, and make better decisions while circumstances continue to shift.
