Description:
Change is Inevitable … Surviving’s Another Thing
Change is simply an altering of the status quo – sounds simple, right? But how we manage ourselves and our teams through change makes all the difference. If we all understand that change is inevitable, why do we resist? And what risk does YOUR project face when your stakeholders pull back?
Presentation Details
Workshop Participants will learn how to avoid the typical pitfalls during change:
• The foundational fears that cause us to resist change
• The difference between Change and Transition
• The Human Element: From denial to action
• Why your communication plan is probably not enough

Ask Yourself These Questions:
• Are you or your organization experiencing a disruption in the status quo?
• Do you find yourself in an adversarial position with your teams or peers?
• Are you bombarded with rumors and innuendos?
• Have you noticed a decrease in morale and performance?
For anyone who leads teams or direct reports
