Signature Keynote
How to navigate change with confidence and ease
When change arrives—whether it's new technology, shifting priorities, or a personal change—people often feel uncertain, overwhelmed, or stuck. But stuckness isn't a problem. It's a natural part of change and often a sign that something new is ready to emerge.
In this keynote, Vered Kogan shares a clear map of what to expect during change and simple tools to steady yourself, support the people around you, and keep moving. A Certified Speaking Professional (CSP®), change management expert, and co-author with Marshall Goldsmith of Unstuck, Vered draws on more than 20 years of experience helping people and organizations navigate change.
Participants leave with renewed confidence, energy, and focus to navigate change, knowing that feeling uncomfortable or stuck signals growth, and equipped with practical tools to move through it.
