Turn Awareness Into Action
The FEC’d UP message doesn’t end with the book. It continues in workshops, keynotes, and tools that help leaders and teams apply the ideas in real life — transforming awareness into practical action.
How Ready Is Your Organization For Change?
Take the FECCON™ Quick-Check
Excerpted from FEC’d UP! — How Fear, Ego, and Culture Sabotage Change
© James Jeffley. All rights reserved.
Every organization has an emotional temperature — a mix of Fear, Ego, and Culture that shapes how people respond to change.
The FECCON™ Quick-Check helps you read that temperature in five simple questions. It's inspired by the US military's DEFCON (Defense Condition) scale for communicating our defense posture, from Peace to War. This scale suggests how ready your organization is for change based on 5 key factors.
It’s not a grade or a guarantee; it’s a vital sign — a snapshot of whether your system is ready for progress or still recovering from the last round of change.
Complete the five questions below, total your score, and see where your team lands on the FECCON™ Scale.
Un-FEC Yourself
Most change efforts fail not because people don’t care — but because Fear, Ego, and Culture quietly shape how they respond.
This focused 30-minute virtual session helps you spot where those forces may be blocking progress in your team, project, or organization.
What You’ll Get
A quick FECCON™ snapshot of where your organization stands right now.
Clarity on which resistance pattern — Fear, Ego, or Culture — is driving your biggest challenge.
A short list of practical next steps to help move from resistance → readiness.
A safe, candid conversation designed to surface insight — not shame or blame.
Who It’s For
Leaders, HR professionals, consultants, or teams who are:
Managing a stalled initiative
Preparing for major organizational change
Experiencing “change fatigue” or internal pushback
Wanting to lead with empathy and clarity instead of fear and force
