There’s a Major Gap in How We Handle Change—and It's Killing Productivity! "You promised if we gave it our all for this one project, things would get better... It's actually worse!" "You promised things would stabilize, but we're in complete chaos." "You promised us downtime after this, yet we have 200+ things added to our plates." Sound familiar? This happens because of the psychological contract—an unspoken set of expectations between employees and employers. 👉 A MUST READ: Dr. Nadya Zhexembayeva’s recent article: https://lnkd.in/eJheZ4Wg) When we enter the world of change, many still think change is rare. The reality: We can't uphold the old contract. Change is continuous. Accenture’s "2024 Pulse of Change Index" shows that the rate of change affecting businesses has risen by 183% since 2019 and by 33% in the past year alone. We’ve entered an era where managing continuous turbulence requires continuous reinvention. Without priming beliefs, values, and mindset for change, you're guaranteeing: ✅ Resistance ✅ Change fatigue ✅ Burnout ✅ Sense of defeat And the result? A 100% promise of lost productivity. Don’t want to lose productivity? You can’t start change without priming. It’s all about mindset and reinvention culture work. Key Stats to Know: - 75% of digital transformations fail to deliver long-term change (McKinsey & Company) - 83% of employees feel their organization lacks the necessary change management skills (Deloitte) - Employees’ willingness to support change collapsed from 74% in 2016 to 43% in 2022 (Gartner) P.S. Whether you're a startup ready to set the right foundation, an established company needing a reset, priming for change is non-negotiable. ---------------- I'm Isabelle, Founder and Chief Reinvention Officer at ILV Consulting.

Still Faking It? That’s Why You’re Stuck Many talk a big game. Few actually put in the work consistently. People assume those getting results are just lucky. So they fake it ‘til they DON'T make it... then, it's everyone else's fault that it didn't work out for them. High-Growth Disruptors... You can focus on people dynamics and get it right, attracting top talent. You can have a thriving company that appeals to investors and rock your customers' world. You can set and achieve ambitious targets and goals, boosting your revenue. When you train and practice confidence daily, you say things like: "I will crush this." and you focus on doing exactly what will make you crush it. When you don’t, you end up saying: "This is way more complicated than people think..." "This is not as easy as it seems..." "There's a lot of work that goes into this..." "We've always done it this way..." "For now, we'll focus on this and tackle that later..." and you focus on doing exactly what won't work out. These inner thoughts are contributing to: 70% of managers disengaged in your workplace. 77% of employees disengaged in your workplace. 26% of workers planning to quit in the next 12 months. 33% of employees who feel safe to dissent or debate ideas. 35% who believe their managers tolerate small-scale failures. This disengagement costs the global economy a staggering $8.9 trillion. While CEOs and executives might be pushing for change, support among employees has plummeted from 74% to 43%. In my corporate days, we restructured a national program and achieved a 1900% revenue increase, from $500K to $10M in under a year. Recently, a client realized a 25% revenue boost. Both achieved by tackling people dynamics, strategically. The key is to take action and work out your mind muscles every single day, with a couple of rest days in between to recharge. In fast-growing companies, people dynamics are either your secret weapon or your downfall. Which one will you choose? P.S. Check out Heather Monahan’s podcast, "Creating Confidence."

Sick of the blame game? Are you even seeing it happen as it happens? What are you doing about it? Catch Dan Stowell and I sharing our two cents on this morning's #BSBeGone episode where we talk about how blaming less helps us achieve more! 😎✌

Join Dan Stowell and Isabelle LaCroix Vienneau today on BS BeGone Live: 👉 Discover how blaming less can help you achieve more!

Listen up, this one's gonna be blunt. Just because you’re not the decision-maker doesn’t mean you don’t matter. Your role and voice are crucial. You’re an essential part of the team. Your actions, attitude, and performance influence the final score. Think of a family – parents have the final say. My kids don’t always like it, but they get it. Disappointed your ideas aren’t chosen? Yes, it sucks. The decision-maker carries the biggest risk – legal, financial, regulatory. Respect that. Feel overlooked? Speak up. It’s okay to ask questions; it’s not okay to sabotage. You are the decision-maker of your life. Don’t like where you are? Change it. 👉 I left a violent relationship, not because there was 100% guarantee I’d be safe, but because there was 100% guarantee that if I didn’t trigger the change, I would stay stuck there. 👉 I learned to speak up to my leaders, anyone for that matter, not because there was 100% guarantee they’d always love what I had to say, but because there was 100% guarantee that if I didn't make my voice matter, no one else would. 👉 I learned to trust others, not because there’s 100% guarantee I won’t get burned again, but because there’s 100% guarantee I trust myself to handle whatever comes my way. Life throws us ROCKS – single parenting, tough jobs, tough bosses, tough family members, friends, and more. At the end of the day, you still have choices. It’s on you to make the best ones for your situation. Blaming others won’t get you where you want to be. I’ve tried that, it didn’t work out. P.S. How's blaming others working out for you?

"Are You Helping Them or Just Making Yourself Feel Better?" Someone in your life is struggling. They’re not following through on what will transform them into a better version of themselves. They’re stuck in pain, fear, and shame. Maybe you are too. You want to help. Out of the goodness of your heart, you take over, trying to spare them pain, fear, and shame. I feel a knot in my stomach as I write this. Here's the hard truth I learned: you might be easing your own discomfort at their expense, without even realizing it. Whether you're a leader, a parent, or a friend, the situation is real and hard. You want the best for those struggling. Your efforts to find solutions only fuel their complaints and excuses. This is hard to digest, but you are enabling them. What they need is to be empowered. As a recovering people pleaser, I know how easy it is to fall into this trap. It takes a lot of energy and effort to resist. How do I manage? By doing what I need to (not want to sometimes), so they can do the same for themselves. Shifting from enabling to empowering starts with looking within by asking yourself: 👉 "How is my 'help' making them think they can't do it themselves?" Remember, in the end, who we are and who we choose to become is a choice we can all make. To be the best leader, coach, parent, friend, or colleague, shift from taking over to empowering. Show up at your best so others can see your transformation and light. Gift people with the same opportunity to grow. Improvement starts with self-awareness and letting others take responsibility for their growth. Are you ready to make that shift? P.S. Want to and don't know how? Send me a DM and let's chat! 💗

Would you cross a busy street with your eyes closed? So why the heck would you navigate life without thinking through your choices? My answers used to be "because I don't have time, because other people get in the way, because I don't know how." Today, I make time, I don't allow other people to get in the way, and when I don't know how, I ask for help and leverage resources to learn. Just like you look both ways before crossing the street, making thoughtful choices is soooo essential for your well-being and confidence. Every choice you make shapes your life, career, and relationships. Impulsive decisions? They'll keep you spinning in circles, feeling out of control and regretful. 👉 Want to feel empowered, clear-headed, and in control but don’t know where to start? Let’s connect and map out your path to clarity and confidence. Taking a moment to think about the consequences before you act will lead to a more fulfilling life in a matter of minutes! Respect yourself enough to make choices that serve your highest good. Tag someone who needs this reminder. 💗

Ever feel like you're the only one struggling? "Something is wrong with me," "this only happens to me," "I am literally by myself." Zoom out. Seriously. You’re not alone. Everyone's got their battles. When we take a step back, we notice others are struggling too. “OMG, you too? I thought it was just me.” Shame loves silence. When we share? We cut its power. Yes, you heard that right. Here are the 3 SURE-FIRE strategies guaranteed to keep you stuck in disengagement. 1️⃣ Avoid Problems: Hide, run away, keep secrets. 2️⃣ People-Pleasing: Seek approval, neglect yourself. 3️⃣ Aggression Over Assertiveness: Gain power by being aggressive. These strategies might protect you momentarily, but they keep you stuck in deep waters. When you choose self-awareness and courage. You share your struggles, and invite others to do the same. That is how you overcome any barrier. Period. P.S. Sometimes we need to see what NOT to do to realize what we should be doing. What are you choosing today? To fuel disengagement or to disrupt it?
