Leading Change
Because successful change isn’t managed — it’s led.

Why This Matters
Change today is no longer an event, it’s a constant. Yet, even the best strategies falter when people resist or feel left behind. Successful transformation requires leaders who can navigate uncertainty, inspire belief, and create momentum through people, not processes.
This workshop helps leaders understand the human side of change – what drives resistance, how to build alignment, and how to sustain commitment. Through immersive activities and guided reflection, participants learn to lead with empathy, communicate with transparency, and turn change from something to fear into something to fuel growth.
Research by McKinsey & Company shows that
organizations with effective change leadership outperform
peers in organizational health and financial performance.

Walk-Through of Learner Experience
At FocusU, every learning experience follows a deliberate arc — moving participants
from awareness to application, and from insight to action.
| STAGE | WHAT HAPPENS |
|---|---|
| Discover | Participants experience engaging activities, challenges and scenarios that surface real attitudes, assumptions, and patterns of behaviour. |
| Reflect | Guided debriefs and discussions help them make sense of what they experienced - connecting it to their personal and workplace realities. |
| Reframe | Learners explore new mindsets, tools, and frameworks that offer fresh ways to approach everyday challenges. |
| Apply | Through practice, planning, and peer feedback, participants translate insights into actionable commitments they can take back to work. |
Every FocusU intervention is designed to move learners from knowing to doing — ensuring
learning doesn’t end in the workshop, but continues in how people think, collaborate, and lead.

It is fantastic working with people who clearly understand what one looks for and gives it the shape that leaves him/her delighted. I highly recommend them, most definitely.

FocusU has always made learning interesting. Topics are converted into activities and the learning from the activities are then discussed - which makes us relate to it in real time. The best part is there is no PPT and the team is always takes inputs for discussion. A facilitator is definitely more knowledgeable than the people who attend the training. The key is how you hold your intelligence within yourself and get down to the level of attendees.

Our brief to FocusU was that with the large number of changes in the Regional Leadership Team, we need to get to know each other and build trust. Being a cross-functional team with diverse people – in age, backgrounds, experiences and geographically-dispersed – this was crucial. They understood this and customized a workshop which was fun and met all our objectives.

HUL Branch HR Manager – South -
Using people engagement, leadership & team effectiveness to fuel business turnaround and results upped my faith in the power of the ‘more human approach’ that I believe in. The web of deep connections that we established, grew over time, and we saw what a group of united, committed and intelligent individuals can achieve as ‘One Team’. The FocusU team were true catalysts in this journey.

FocusU has always delivered to the objective set out with perfection. They always bring new ideas and exercises to help deliver the message and achieve the objective. Lego Serious Play is an extremely powerful tool which we have used for team visioning sessions. The entire exercise is engaging and helps bring out various aspects of discussion on the table in a non-threatening way.
Sachin Jain
PepsiCo India Region Manager Leadership Capability -
I appreciate the time management, level of expertise & knowledge of FocusU's facilitators. Most importantly, which I found was definitely your differentiator - the course design and debriefing. All the identified training needs were met. All three trainers were very professional; the use of technology was also very good. In a batch of 96, they kept everyone together and focused as well.
