Cassandra Worthy
Founder & CEO, Change Enthusiasm Global — Keynote Speaker & Author
Early on in her career, when her company was in the aftermath of a $5B acquisition, Cassandra Worthy almost quit. Instead, she woke up one day and decided to view her frustration as a signal that she was sitting in a moment of opportunity — an opportunity to transform that energy into something better. She didn’t know it at the time, but she was cultivating a teachable strategy to inspire anyone to become enthusiastic about change and find their unique power of resilience during turbulent times.
Today, Cassandra helps organizations disrupt “change as usual.” Through a practical and repeatable framework, she shows them how to transform their culture from surviving change to growing through change.
