Making the Journey through Change

All organisations navigate through a landscape of continuing change. Success depends of many things – clarity of vision, inspirational leadership, a well-planned strategy, a well-designed programme of communication and, crucially, bringing your people with you

Who would benefit?

The workshop is not for leaders who are creating and leading a change programme. It provides practical help and support for team members who are making the journey through change.

Participants will be able to:

Understand the change process and what it demands of them
Use practical tools to effect change – in thei role, in their work and in themselves
Develop strategies to enhance their resilience and agility
Manage the pressure that change places on them and prevent it turning into stress

Connection. Using a three circle model that enables you to engage and build rapport with your fellow travellers on the change journey

Resilience. Developing your own ‘bounce-back-ability. Being self-supporting through the change process
