Managing Through Change - 4 Steps To Guide You Through Turbulence

Change is good right? Change is good, but it s definitely not easy.

When you transform the way you do business, there is a rollercoaster of emotions and reactions and not that many smiley face emojis. Even when the change is needed, the transition can be difficult, frustrating and even immobilizing if it isn't handled properly. As a leader, how do you manage the stages of change and share a clear vision of hope and certainty? How do you lead your team forward confidently and assertively and keep morale high along the way? In this dynamic, information-packed session loaded with real-life examples, we give you the tools you need to lead change successfully.

Arm yourselves with coaching tips and insights on how to impact the four stages of change and move your team along the continuum: past shock and denial and on to exploration and commitment.
