  The Missing Ingredient:

  Unlocking the Secret to Sustainable Change

  
  

  Every day, in every field and function, leaders worldwide lose traction on their most critical change initiatives. Despite best efforts, these initiatives may fail to take root and flourish. And, the problem isn't what they think it is.

  They're overlooking the most crucial factor in leadership—the vital ingredient that determines buy-in from their people (and themselves), and ultimately dictates if, when, and for how long they will take action.

  Most leaders don't know what this missing ingredient is. Even if they did, they wouldn't know how to harness its power.

  Join us for an exciting, interactive discussion where you'll not only discover this game-changing ingredient, but also learn how to leverage it more intentionally and effectively.

  In this transformative session, you'll gain:

  - A fresh perspective on influence and persuasion

  - A framework for productive tension management

  - Insights to dispel the myth that "people are resistant to change"

  - A deep appreciation for our community and the value of C-Sweet Roundtables. This is a built-in benefit for every roundtable and well worth mentioning.

  Join us for this opportunity to revolutionize your approach to leadership and change!

  
  

   This event is open to ALL!

  Complimentary for C-Sweet members. Non-member tickets - $65.

  Melissa Thrasher

  Fine Artist

  
  

  

  Melissa Thrasher is a fine artist based in Santa Monica, California. She believes that art has the power to bridge the gap between self and others, creating a profound connection through shared understanding. Melissa views the completion of a painting as the moment it transitions from being about her to being about and for the viewer, facilitating an exchange that acknowledges our true selves.

  
  

  Growing up on the Great Plains and the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains, Melissa developed a deep connection with nature and the human experience, which converge in her work. Her diverse artistic expression combines abstraction with representational elements and sometimes venturing into sculpture.

  
  

  Before embracing her career as an artist, Melissa worked in television and advertising, where she honed her storytelling skills for the masses. Through her art, she explores the power of shifting perspectives, expressing the internal and unseen, and continues to inspire and connect with her audience.
