Lu.ma — Frontier Tower
A facilitated working session for managers and team leaders navigating rapid change Change often reaches teams faster than they can absorb it. New tools, shifting priorities, changing roles, reorganizations, and rising expectations arrive without additional time or capacity. Some employees are anxious. Some resist. Others quietly disengage. Meanwhile, the manager is caught in the middle—receiving pressure for speed from leadership while trying to give the team clarity, stability, and support. This 90-minute interactive workshop gives managers and team leaders a place to step out of reaction mode and understand what is actually driving the overwhelm. Through guided reflection, peer conversation, and practical leadership tools, we will explore: What is creating pressure for you and your team What is workload—and what is uncertainty, role ambiguity, or decision friction What your team needs from you during change What you should not be expected to carry alone How to communicate honestly when you do not have every answer Which decisions, requests, or conversations could create movement This is not a lecture or another presentation about managing change. It is a practical, facilitated session built around the real situations managers are navigating now. This session is for Middle managers and team leaders in any function or industry Managers guiding teams through AI adoption, restructuring, new systems, rapid growth, or shifting priorities People leaders supporting team concerns while remaining accountable for delivery Leaders carrying more decisions, communication, and emotional pressure than they have capacity for You may be experiencing Pressure from both directions: Leadership expects speed while your team needs clarity, involvement, and time. Decision overload: Everything feels urgent, priorities keep changing, and too many unresolved decisions are sitting with you. Team uncertainty: Anxiety, resistance, confusion, or disengagement is affecting trust and execution. You will leave with A clearer understanding of what is actually driving the overwhelm One leadership priority to focus on now A more honest and useful way to communicate uncertainty A decision, request, or conversation to move forward A practical plan for the following two weeks Bring one real leadership situation you are currently navigating. You do not need to share confidential company or employee details.
