> When change hits, some teams run for the exits. Others pull together and get stronger. The difference is buildable.

> What isn't inevitable is how our teams respond to it. Unwavering teams are resilient, highly collaborative, and even excited about change, aren't born and they aren't lucky. They're built on trust, empathy, and ongoing experimentation. Unwavering teams gives audiences the playbook for building them, and shows leaders how to become the kind of leader whose team stands strong through anything the future may hold.

> Uncertainty is an inevitable part of the future. In the face of ongoing change, will we see our people running for the exits, or will they be there to support and help each other? Change is happening faster than ever before, and building unwavering teams that are resilient, ultra-collaborative, and even excited about that change has never been more important. But how do we build unwavering teams? Trust, empathy, and ongoing experimentation.

> Workplace culture and leadership expert Eric Termuende has spent nearly a decade decoding exactly what creates unwavering teams: Those that are resilient, rooted in belonging, and grounded in a deep sense of safety and inclusion. These are the types of teams that thrive through change because they know that while change may be difficult, the only thing worse is standing still. Eric has created a playbook for cultivating unwavering teams, and in this session, attendees will both learn it and be able to take it home with them.
