What you'll learn

Diagnose Real Readiness, Not Just Going Through The Motions

Learn to tell whether your team is genuinely ready for change, or just coasting and compliant.

See Why Going Through The Motions Isn't Ownership

Learn why a team that goes through the motions isn't the same as a team that owns the change.

Leave With Signals That Reveal The Readiness Gap

Walk away with three practical signals that expose the gap between looking ready and being ready.

Why this topic matters

Most directors assume their team is ready for change because the rollout meeting went fine. Often that's just going through the motions, not real readiness, and it's the gap that quietly stalls AI rollouts. This lesson shows you how to tell the difference, and the shift that makes readiness real.

Anique Coffee

Growth Strategist for founders and leaders. Brave conversations, clear ownership

I’m Anique, founder of Gather and Grow, and a facilitator-coach helping teams lead through growth without burning trust, energy, or momentum.

I bring 15+ years of experience across organisations including Samsung, Pinterest, Cartier, WeWork, and UNESCO.


I help leaders name the patterns creating friction, practise better options in real situations, and build clear agreements around expectations, ownership, and decision-making. Then we operationalise the shift with a practical plan.


Clear priorities, simple rhythms, and the next right actions that make leadership and culture real in how the work gets done, so the business can hit the growth goals it has set.

Leah Zalinski

Change management for founders and leaders. Building sustainable growth.

I'm Leah, Partner at Gather + Grow, and a change management strategist with 20 years in agency operations.


Before Gather + Grow, I served as Chief Operating Officer at a boutique communications firm and worked inside world-class global marketing and communications agencies serving Fortune 100 clients including Mars-Wrigley, ALDI, Edward Jones, Crown Imports, and Kellogg's.


I work with leaders and founders who are clear on where they're going but whose organizations can't yet keep pace. We help them get honest about priorities, build the structures that create real ownership, and put the rhythms and decision-making practices in place so the organization can actually execute. Clear direction, shared accountability, a team that doesn't need you in every room for things to move.
