In today’s workplace, change and transition are an ever-accelerating reality. You and your team are either reactively experiencing change or proactively leading change. How do the most successful organizations manage change in a way that is less disruptive and more productive?

This program provides the “behind-the-scenes” strategies and tools that leverages change (even unexpected change) as an opportunity to enhance engagement of employees and customers, refine services that matter most, and achieve results and growth – even in seasons of unsettling chaos.

Ask Yourself:

  • Why do people struggle with change?
  • How do you get people on board to support change?
  • How do people approach change differently – and how to effectively integrate those different approaches?
  • How do you create change as a legitimate improvement, and not just change for change’s sake?
  • Why are people mis-trusting of change?
  • How do you get others past their fears to find the courage they need in making change.
  • What do most change initiatives get wrong that leads to the commonplace “flavor of the month” change program? And how to get it right, instead?

Take a look at the following video, which overviews how individuals, teams, and organizations approach change:
