Feedback Reimagined
Pete Berridge, PCC, MAPP - CEO Change Positive, LLC
Join us for a conversation with Pete Berridge of Change Positive as he discusses the Shift Positive® Method and his book, Feedback Reimagined.
Today's workforce says, "Coach me, don't criticize me." This is an invitation to shift your mindset and introduce you to how positive psychology and building a system of support can change the feedback experience. Participants will learn the language and approach for more effective and energizing developmental feedback.
Feedback is essential when it comes to employee engagement. However, nearly 40% of feedback practices result in poorer performance. Intentions are compromised, context is lacking, and all too often feedback is focused on what’s not working vs. identifying what the individual could do to excel. Additionally, feedback systems lack ongoing support from stakeholders.
Pete Berridge, MAPP, PCC is an accomplished executive coach and CEO of Change Positive, LLC. With a Master of Applied Positive Psychology (MAPP) degree from the University of Pennsylvania, Pete was determined to leverage the latest research to transform the feedback process and bring out the best in people. He’s excited to bring the Shift Positive® Method to the world as co-author of the #1 New Release Feedback Reimagined endorsed by Shawn Achor and Marshall Goldsmith.
Feedback Reimagined
Discover how to provide feedback that's human, energizing, and effective. You’ve probably experienced the discomfort of receiving or giving feedback. It’s no surprise that research confirms traditional feedback models are broken, often causing more harm than good. If you're a leader, coach, or leadership development professional feeling stuck on how to best retain and develop talent, Feedback Reimagined will show you the way.
About The Shift Positive 360®
The Shift Positive 360® is different than traditional narrative 360s. It uses appreciative questions to understand the best of what is, solution-focused questions to identify specific desired behaviors, systems thinking to garner allies from the client’s “people system,” and social network analysis to gain insight into energy raising behaviors and energy drains.
The Shift Positive 360® solves the design issues present in other 360’s – confidentiality, summary reports, lack of context, focus on weaknesses, lack of clarity, and lack of support. Further it is supported by a technology platform that streamlines administration, provides consistent key messages to participants, and reduces the effort of most narrative 360’s, while providing opportunity to measure progress and impact on the business. Overall, this process is not just about gathering information on your client, but it’s nudging the system on behalf of your client. Website: shiftpositive360.com

Sparking Your Second Act
Shilpa Lewis, OMNI Mindfulness
Shine on the stage of life by SPARKING YOUR SECOND ACT
Shilpa is a Mindset & Meditation Coach, host of the Podcast Omni Mindfulness, Meditation Expert, producer of guided meditations on Insight Timer, and creator of her signature courses Awareness First, Happy Mind, and Second Act.
Shilpa understands the struggles of the modern professional woman who often feels unfulfilled, stuck, and overwhelmed.
Having spent years in the technology space, she witnessed the challenges of working in corporate cultures. She also experienced the challenges of being raised in the 70s in the United States, in an immigrant family, with traditional Indian culture.
Shilpa has had first-hand experience with the personal and professional pressures placed on women leaving them feeling that they lack time and energy for self-improvement.
Throughout her life, Shilpa has maintained her resilience through her spiritual and mindfulness practices.
As a child, she learned to meditate under the ancient Indian Vedic System. Over the years she refined her meditation skills through the influence of her yoga guru Paramahansa Yogananda who is considered 'the father of meditation in the West'. Through his teachings, offered through Self-Realization Fellowship, Shilpa studied Kriya Yoga meditation techniques. In her late 20s, she was initiated Kriyaban Yogi in the Self Realization Fellowship lineage.
As her spiritual self-awareness journey continued, she dove deeper into Vedic and Yogic teachings and went on to receive multiple yoga certifications.
In late 2018, after 20+ years working for Corporate Technology Leaders as a User Experience Researcher & Designer, she felt a calling to pause and pivot her professional path. She realized her "WHY" was her son, Omni. After the untimely death of her mom, she decided she wanted to be more present for my son and family.
In 2020 she received her Sura Flow Meditation Coaching Certification. This meditation style is a softer more feminine approach to meditation. It is a simple 3-step, heart-centered meditation approach that cultivates energy flow, creativity, and inner guidance for self-realization. Shilpa now combines classic meditation skills with more modern approaches to meditation that factor in the movement of energy.
Soon she established her coaching business, Omni Mindfulness named after her son who inspires her every day to do better.

Change Isn't Hard
Guest Speaker: Pam Marmon, CEO, Marmon Consulting
We have been conditioned to think that change is hard, and as a result, we experience organizational change through that lens. But what if we were wrong?
As the speed of change in our world rapidly increases, organizations and people experience burnout, disengagement, and low productivity. The cost of poorly executed change is astronomical. Competing priorities in organizations cause inefficiency that negatively impact profits. Inconsistent leadership and lack of communications causes confusion and inaction. This is unsustainable and harmful to society.
We can change that! By shifting our mindset about change, we can position ourselves for positive outcomes that align with our desired results and enable us to live a more productive and balanced life. We can learn how to effectively lead ourselves and others through organizational change, and we can grow our personal change resilience to create room for greater efficiency and satisfaction.
We can’t slow down the speed of change, but we can learn to confidently anticipate, appreciate, and thrive during organizational change. This workshop will cover why change efforts fail, how to shift your mindset about change, and how to grow your change resilience.
Learning Outcomes
1. Why change efforts fail
2. Shift your mindset about change
3. Grow your change resilience
Pam Marmon is a progressive change management expert with over 17+ years of Fortune 500 experience leading transformational initiatives in the aerospace, technology, bio tech, insurance, healthcare, nonprofit, financial, banking, corporate retail, consumer packaged goods, engineering, manufacturing, and professional services industries.
Pam is also the best-selling author of “No One’s Listening and it’s Your Fault,” a book focused on how leaders can get their message heard during organizational transformations.

By shifting our mindset about change, we can position ourselves for positive outcomes that align with our desired results and enable us to live a more productive and balanced life. We can learn how to effectively lead ourselves and others through organizational change, and we can grow our personal change resilience to create room for greater efficiency and satisfaction.
We can’t slow down the speed of change, but we can learn to confidently anticipate, appreciate, and thrive during organizational change. This workshop will cover why change efforts fail, how to shift your mindset about change, and how to grow your change resilience.
Learning Outcomes
1. Why change efforts fail
2. Shift your mindset about change
3. Grow your change resilience

Vulnerability & The Enneagram Instincts
Special Guest: Nikki Shultz
The most vulnerable action we can take is to step on the path to deconstruct our personality. To understand this, we must first understand the practical reason why every human being subconsciously constructs a personality. The word personality itself stems from the Latin word persona, which refers to a mask worn by performers in order to project a different role and disguise their identity.
Our personality is our mask to stay safe in a very human world and is formed around early wounds. The word vulnerable is ultimately derived from the Latin noun vulnus: “wound.” We each have a mask to protect our true self from being wounded. Every human being develops a personality – an Enneagram Type - as a protective mask to function in the world. Paradoxically, our personality patterns are exactly what triggers wounds in others.
When we become aware to our personality patterns of thinking, feeling and action, we transform our relationship with ourselves and others to a place rich with love, compassion, empathy and understanding.
Key Takeaways:
1. What the Enneagram is and is not. Preview: it is not a test.
2. The 3 core instincts: Understanding what they do, how they manifest and why they matter in
relationships.
3. Each Type’s core fear and defense mechanism to avoid vulnerability.
Nikki Shultz is a speaker, leadership team coach, and founder of Courageous Roots Development. After a nearly two-decade career holding leadership positions in product development and operations, she followed her joy and landed in organizational development and coaching. She has completed years of advanced formal studies in vertical development and the Enneagram and
focuses on supporting senior teams to grow into their potential as an interconnected system.

Use your Human Control Panel for Effective Leadership & Life
Special Guest: Naomi Banks
What would it be like if you were able to push a couple of buttons to shift how engaged, connected, calm and effective you are in any setting at any time? Sounds great and maybe like it’s too good to be true!
Within leaders’ internal and external environments, they are navigating many distractions and disruptions. Things that throw us off our game, take us by surprise, slow us down and even exhaust us. At the same time, many of us can think of moments where we were felt like everything was “O.K.” in our environment and with us. We might have felt like we were in “flow” or not having to try so hard to do our best thinking, be creative, or connect with others. So, how can you get more of that? Is it realistic?
This interactive discussion will bring you the most recent insights from neuroscience, physiology, and human development that are shifting the approach to wellbeing and performance. You will develop awareness of your personal human control panel and how to maximize its potential to increase your effectiveness, enhance your leadership presence and strengthen your resilience. Whether you are thriving, in the process of building a vision for your life or anywhere in between, you will discover important keys for optimizing your control panel that can be applied realistically and immediately.

Building a Positive and Supportive Feedback Culture
Presented by Pete Berridge, PCC, MAPP, Co-Founder Change Positive, LLC
Today's workforce says, "Coach me, don't criticize me"; This is an invitation to shift your mindset on feedback and see how positive psychology and building social support can create a more effective and energizing feedback experience. Whether it comes through a performance review or 360, the way feedback is delivered in most companies is broken. Intentions are compromised, context is lacking, and all too often feedback is focused on what’s not working vs. identifying what the individual could do to excel. Additionally, feedback systems lack ongoing support from stakeholders - the “people system” - to help the person successfully grow and change.
This session will cover concepts to address these shortfalls including positive psychology, system support, strengths-based coaching, solution-focused inquiry, and defining desired outcomes. This will shift participants’ mindset so that feedback becomes far more constructive and enjoyable for both those giving and receiving. Participants will leave with more energy and ideas for transforming feedback in their lives and organizations.

The problem isn't that we have those feelings, it’s that we don't know how to move past them. You Are Here is here to help.
