The cost of mishandled disruption isn’t just financial... it’s human.
A full-day workshop that helps your managers lead with clarity, compassion, and confidence through life’s toughest moments.
The cost of mishandled disruption isn’t just financial. It’s human.
A death, diagnosis, disaster, or reorg handled the wrong way doesn’t just break trust. It breaks retention, morale, and performance.
U.S. businesses lose an estimated $225 billion each year in productivity due to grief, loss, and poorly managed disruption.
It’s not because leaders don’t care.
It’s because most of us were never taught how to respond when life collides with work.
The Resilience Blueprint is a full-day, high-impact workshop designed for front-line and mid-level managers who lead people through uncertainty, change, and loss.
We help your team leaders:
• Respond to disruption with clarity and compassion
• Communicate hard news without creating collateral damage
• Support employees through grief or crisis while maintaining performance
• Model resilience that strengthens trust and engagement
• Build an actionable response plan for the next inevitable disruption
Get clarity in a couple of minutes. Take our free Workplace Readiness Check to see where your biggest gaps are. You might be more vulnerable than you think (most companies are).
We review your existing policies, procedures, and leadership practices related to communication, crisis response, and employee support.
A day with your managers (virtually or in-person) to build your organization’s Workplace Resilience Blueprint: a customized plan for leading through Death, Diagnosis, Disaster, and Organizational Disruption.
Key stakeholders receive a summary of findings and clear next steps to strengthen leadership readiness and employee support.
Six 30-minute check-in calls during the first 90 days to keep new habits and accountability in motion.
Organizations that plan ahead recover faster, retain more talent, and protect both brand and bottom line when crisis hits.
This isn’t about policies. It’s about people who know what to do when it counts most. Because leadership is never tested in calm waters.
When disruption hits, everyone looks to leadership for cues. The Resilience Blueprint helps your executives, HR partners, and managers know what to say, what to do, and how to show up when it matters most.
CEOs, COOs, and CFOs who want to protect culture and continuity.
CHROs, VPs and HR Directors who need a framework that actually changes behavior.
Those who set the tone when things go sideways - and need the tools to lead through it.
You’re in the right place.
When life happens, leaders need more than policies. They need Compassion + Competence.
The Resilience Blueprint Workshop gives managers both: the emotional intelligence to support people through grief, loss, and change, and the practical structure to keep teams steady when disruption strikes.
If you’re wondering how it works or what to expect, the answers below will help you see why it’s the smartest first step toward building a more human, more prepared workplace.
It’s a one-day, interactive workshop (virtual or in-person) that helps managers prepare for the real-world moments that shake a team — a death, diagnosis, disaster, or major disruption.
Participants learn to respond with empathy and structure, building a team-level plan for what to do when someone is “down and out” so work keeps moving and people feel supported, not sidelined.
Because disruption doesn’t just slow operations — it tests culture.
Most workplaces rely on rigid policies that fail when emotions and logistics collide.
CRC helps leaders bridge that gap, ensuring they can maintain both compassion and continuity when the unexpected hits.
It’s designed for people managers, HR professionals, and leadership teams who want to lead with confidence when someone on their team experiences loss, crisis, or major change.
Whether you oversee 5 people or 500, you’ll walk away with practical tools to respond more effectively and compassionately when life happens.
Leaders work through guided discussion, case examples, and exercises to:
Audit what exists: review current HR policies and response practices.
Identify the gaps: where communication or care tends to break down.
Design the response: create a plan that balances empathy with accountability, ensuring the team can function without adding harm or burnout.
By the end of the day, participants have the foundation for their own Team Resilience Blueprint — a clear guide for what to do and how to show up.
Most trainings focus on either logistics or emotions — we focus on both.
CRC integrates the emotional intelligence needed to handle sensitive situations with the operational thinking required to keep work on track.
It’s not HR compliance, and it’s not therapy — it’s real-world leadership readiness for the moments that matter most.
The workshop is co-led by Michelle Arentz (Strategic Talent Rx) and Maureen Desmond (Navigating Change & Loss) — experts who bring complementary perspectives on workforce development, leadership, communication, and grief in the workplace.
Together, we create a space that’s practical, compassionate, and psychologically safe.
Each manager/leader leaves with a draft Resilience Blueprint, practical next steps, and clarity on where further support may help.
Your organization can extend the work by partnering with:
Michelle (Strategic Talent Rx) for leadership development, team diagnostics, or Predictive Index insights.
Maureen (Navigating Change & Loss) for communication consulting or grief education.
CRC clients also receive preferred partner rates for employees purchasing Personal Readiness Playbooks to extend readiness at home.
Your managers/leaders leave equipped, not overwhelmed — ready to handle difficult moments with confidence, composure, and care.
Teams report higher trust, stronger communication, and less confusion when disruption strikes.
Organizations see fewer costly missteps and a culture that holds together even when things fall apart.
