Change Response Styles
Beyond the basics
A CRS describes how a person connects to and relates to others during times of change and transition within the workplace. There is no “right” or “wrong” CRS; each has unique attributes that help and hinder change adoption. Leaders can apply these styles to better lead their teams through change, adapt project plans and strategies, and mitigate execution risk.
This training helps teams understand how each person naturally responds to change — and how to use those differences to strengthen communication, collaboration, and results during moments of transition. Participants learn the root causes behind common change behaviors, identify what they personally need to stay engaged and effective, and recognize how others may experience the same change differently. The session provides practical strategies for reducing friction, improving team dynamics, and building a more aligned, change-capable culture.
Change Impact Workshops Featuring Workz Wallbreakers®
Change doesn’t fail because the strategy is wrong — it fails when the organization isn’t ready. This facilitated workshop uses Garnet’s people and change analytics and Workz Wallbreakers® to uncover the true drivers of resistance and implementation risk. Leaders and impacted stakeholders use these insights to develop practical change plans in real time.
The interactive game-based workshop can be delivered as a standalone team-building session, but it is most powerful when tailored to a specific organizational initiative, business transformation, or strategic planning process.

The Business of Professional Services
how well do you know the business of your business?
Accountants, attorneys, consultants, and tax specialists are all masters of their subject matter expertise and deliver stellar client experience every day. But as they mature in their careers, they need to learn a related, but distinct skill – managing the back-end business of their business.
When leaders grasp how revenue flows, costs accumulate, and resources are optimized across a matrixed organization, they make smarter decisions that protect margins, improve utilization, and strengthen long-term client relationships. In short, developing commercial and operational acumen alongside technical expertise is what ensures both personal advancement and firm profitability.
This modular, interactive training teaches rising managers and direct-admit professionals the core, firm-agnostic skills they need to thrive within the professional services environment and WHY they’re important.

Mission, Ambition, and Business Reality: What makes professional services unique and why that impacts how the firm is managed
Dollars and Sense: The economics of delivering client work, analyzing project profitability, and other important performance metrics
Managing in a Matrixed Environment: Staffing models and philosophies, coaching agile and high performing teams, and managing “up”
Staying out of Trouble: Regulatory and compliance considerations to stay in the good graces of the ABA, AICPA, IRS, PCAOB, and SEC
