SiriusXM Masterclass: Thriving Through Change with the Power of Self-Efficacy

For the last three years, C-Suite Coach has partnered with SiriusXM's DIRO group (Thank you Donna Burke for bringing us back), providing specialized training for their sales teams. In the past, we've explored topics like authentic leadership and navigating conflict. This time, we focused on Thriving Through Change.

This topic is particularly exciting because I’ve come to understand that change isn't a single event in a career. It really is a constant. Whether it's the ripple effects of a pandemic or the rapid adoption of AI in the workforce, our ability to manage and grow through disruption is critical to sustained success.

The workshop moved beyond simply surviving change, focusing on a clear framework for long-term resilience & regaining traction when change throws you off balance.

Key Takeaways from the Session

• Own Your Influence: True change leadership starts with an Internal Locus of Control. We focused on practical ways to shift perspective, recognize your power to solve problems (Self-Efficacy), and proactively manage what's within your control.

• Embrace the Growth Zone: We worked on moving from a Fixed Mindset to a Growth Mindset, recognizing that challenges are opportunities and setbacks are data points for future success, not verdicts on capability.

• Accelerate Recovery: We used exercises to identify patterns of strength, celebrate recent victories, and clarify the specific skills needed to tackle the next level of challenge.

Ultimately, the goal is not to eliminate uncertainty, but to develop the capacity to thrive within it. I'm energized by the commitment this team showed to building resilient, future-ready leadership.

P.S. When we walked into SiriusXM, our company logo was everywhere! We felt so welcomed. Thank you again, Donna!
