Positive Links:
The Positive Links Speaker Series, presented by Michigan Ross’ Center for Positive Organizations, offers inspiring and practical science-based strategies to build and bolster thriving organizations. Attendees learn from leading positive organizational scholars and connect with our community of academics, students, staff, and leaders.

About the talk:
Navigating change is one of the hardest tasks that leaders face. How can discovery produce "ahas " and insights to meet the challenge of effectively leading during a time of unprecedented change?

Join Karen Golden-Biddle, author of  "The Untapped Power of Discovery: How to Create Change that Inspires a Better Future," to learn about her compelling framework and actionable strategies that will help you champion discovery for change in work and life. Through science and storytelling, Karen will explain how to leverage opportunities once unseen, open the door to temporary not knowing, and launch new solutions that reimagine unsettled situations. Learn how you and your organization can experience remarkable benefits from catalyzing discovery.
