Instructor: Paul Jan Zdunek, Peab '91

Brought to you by Odyssey  

Virtual via Zoom

Join Paul Jan Zdunek—TEDx Speaker, award-winning author, and Prosci® Certified Change Management Professional—for two interactive 90-minute workshops that invite you to rethink success and lead transformation from the inside out. Across these sessions, you’ll learn how to align your purpose, passion, and people skills to thrive through uncertainty—whether navigating organizational change or charting your next career chapter. Each workshop stands on its own yet builds toward a larger understanding of how to lead intuitively and live authentically.

Ideal for mid-career professionals, alumni, and emerging leaders ready to embrace change—whether guiding others through it or navigating it themselves—this program offers two 90-minute sessions that can be taken individually or together. Each session blends interactive presentation, reflection, and live coaching. 

Required Text: Cowboys & Conductors: Conversations on Horseman-Humanship by Dustin Davis & Paul Jan Zdunek. The book can be purchased through  Amazon or other retailers.
