Given the current economic turbulence and fundamental shifts affecting the advertising industry, step back for a moment and have a look at your agency.
- What change is necessary to bring sustainable growth?
- What is compelling personal reason for leading or influencing this change?
- As an account planner, how would I lead this change?
You may not yet have all the answers. However all are vital questions to consider as you take on a greater leadership role within your agency.

Becoming a Change Agent Breakout Session
Why is it so easy to see what your clients need, but not so easy to articulate what your own agency needs?
This workshop is designed for senior planners who want to learn more about affecting change and growth within their agency. You will step back and look at your situation from numerous perspectives. You will learn and apply business and leadership tools that will help you to have an impact on the growth of your business.
Through an interactive group discussion and workbook approach, you will begin to identify what is needed to accelerate the growth of your agency and your compelling personal reason for leading or influencing this growth.
If you haven’t already, please send a brief email to Jim and Jo-Ann, your workshop facilitators, to confirm your top 2 or 3 objectives for the session. Jim and Jo-Ann will review all emails to help ensure the group gets the most of the work.
