Change Management Intensive
As a LabOps leader, you’re in a unique position to lead change—even if you’re not “in charge.” You work at the intersection of science, people, process, and policy, giving you a powerful vantage point.
You may not always have formal authority, but with the right mindset, tools, and communication skills, you can drive meaningful change—upward, across, and within your lab.
This workshop will equip you to lead strategically and collaboratively, no matter your title.
Three Keys to Leading Change in LabOps
1. Shift the Narrative: From “Implementer” to “Influencer”
2. Communicate Strategically: Clarity, Curiosity, and Credibility
3. Influence Without Authority: Manage Upward & Across
Limited to 25 participants
Cost: $1500

Shift the Narrative
Learn to manage your mindset in moments of change:
• Focus your energy where it will have real impact
• Recognize emotional triggers and what is fueling them
• Pause, get perspective, and choose a more productive response
Communicate Strategically
Get practical tools to connect and be heard:
- Lower tension and open space for real conversation
- Understand what people really mean, not just what they say
- Flex your style to connect with colleagues at every level
Influence Without Authority
Gain confidence to lead change from any seat:
- Map relationships and spot where real influence lives
- Build trust and speak with clarity in high-stakes moments
- Move things forward, even when the title is not yours
