Change Smarter: Deliberately Leading Through the Disruption of Change

Change doesn’t just knock on the door—it kicks it in. It turns what we know upside-down, sending us scrambling to hold on to what’s familiar. But here’s the truth: the “good ol’ days” aren’t just gone—they’re obsolete.

Remember the brands we thought would last forever—whether it was the local stalwarts of our youth or global giants like Blockbuster and MySpace, entire eras were wiped out because they couldn’t keep up. Disruption spares no one, not even the giants.

But disruption isn’t just a storm we need to weather. It’s a force we can harness.
The truth is, it’s not the disruption that gets us; it’s how we respond. If we lead with intentionality and courage, putting people first, we can transform uncertainty into unparalleled opportunity? If we’re reactionary, progress will stall and trust will erode and the results will be disastrous to the productivity, morale, and stability of the organization.

In Change Smarter, Tony draws upon two decades along with the latest of helping organizations navigate disruption and implement change to reveal the things that most organizations miss and keep them from thriving during uncertainty along with key strategies that when implemented will open up a world of possibilities where previously only chaos and uncertainty existed.

This isn’t just another talk about "change management.” It’s a bold new blueprint for turning disruption into a launchpad for innovation, growth, and cultural transformation.

Think Smarter: Breaking Hidden Patterns for Better Results
On an average day, the typical adult makes around 35,000 decisions—from what to prioritize at work to how to respond in a meeting. Many of these decisions are small and automatic, driven by mental shortcuts that help us conserve time and energy. But these same shortcuts can also create patterns in our thinking that quietly shape our choices in ways we don’t always notice.

Now imagine the ripple effect: what happens when these unseen influences guide decisions about hiring, leadership, customer interactions, or innovation?

This keynote isn’t about mandates or “fixing people.” It’s about equipping leaders and teams with practical, science-backed tools to recognize and disrupt hidden patterns that hold organizations back. By addressing the root causes of decision-making blind spots, we can create workplaces where creativity thrives, collaboration deepens, and outcomes improve—for everyone.

Join Tony for this transformative session to discover how uncovering these unseen influences can supercharge your team’s performance and unlock untapped potential in your organization.

The Force Multiplier: Leadership That Amplifies Impact and Ignites Potential
How many times have you heard it:
“It’s hard to find good people.”
More importantly, how many times have you said it? Or thought it? When things aren’t going well, it’s easy to think you may have hired the wrong people and that the solution is to find the right people—the hard-working, committed, conscientious, and loyal people. But what if the solution is really much simpler. What if it’s just better leaders? What if the solution is:

Force Multipliers
A Force Multiplier is a leader who brings out the best in people and whose presence makes everyone around them better. In other words, a Force Multiplier is a leader who doesn’t complain about how hard it is to find good people, because they’re too busy bringing out the good in your people.

A Force Multiplier is not only an effective leader, they’re the kind of leader whose presence amplifies the output and potential of everyone around them. Force Multipliers don’t just inspire—they transform. With Force Multipliers, apathetic employees care, absent employees show up, complainers offer solutions, stonewallers collaborate, and underperformers surprise.

In this inspiring and practical keynote, Tony Chatman will equip your leaders with the strategies, tools, and mentality to:

• Create a culture of excellence where people don’t just follow—they excel.
  Build trust, loyalty, and collaboration that energize teams and drive results.

• Turn conflict into connection by transforming work relationships into powerful partnerships.
• Using real-world proven strategies, and unforgettable storytelling, Tony will show your leaders how to drive measurable impact while fostering a culture where people feel seen, valued, and empowered.

This isn’t just leadership reimagined—it’s leadership that delivers results. Tony’s dynamic approach ensures your leaders will leave with actionable takeaways and the inspiration to implement them immediately.

So if you’re ready to stop worrying about finding good people and start transforming the people you already have, this keynote is your blueprint for success.

A Way With Words:
