Managing Change & Transition

Who Else Wants To END  The Stress, Fear, and Uncertainty Of  Career Change, And Turn It Into An Opportunity  For Developing Confidence, Increased Success and Personal Satisfaction?

This Seminar On How To Manage Change
Shows You How.

The Winds of Change are blowing across the world with hurricane force and more than likely YOU are beginning to feel the impact in one of the following ways…

>> You are a manager tasked with carrying out change management initiatives in your organization and may not have the training required to effectively and sensitively bring your team through the process.
>> You are a manager tasked with carrying out change management initiatives in your organization and may even have change management training, but engaging a third party in educating your staff on the process of change will be more effective.

>> Your company or the company that your spouse works for has announced that it will be laying off workers in the coming months. All you can do is hope that at least one of you will be spared when the axe falls.
>> You or your spouse have already been laid off and the future looks bleak, dismal and hopeless.
>> You lie awake at night tossing and turning, worried sick about your future and the future of your family.
>> Your retirement savings are evaporating on a daily basis as the stock market gyrates up and down.

You see, I know how it feels to be confronted with the scenarios I have just outlined. As a corporate trainer I've worked with organizations going through change and have seen how fear and uncertainty can erode morale and productivity.  

I've designed and facilitated Change Management programs that have given employees tools to help them navigate through the negative emotions that accompany the threat of losing their jobs. What's more, I too have experienced being laid off; know how it feels and what it takes to emerge from the experience stronger and more confident in one's abilities to not only survive, but thrive in challenging times.  

From my experience the biggest need that people have who are faced with the threat of being laid off is to calm the emotional churn and identify options. 

That is not the support that is offered however. Most times the employee is sent to an outplacement agency where the focus is on developing a resume and embarking immediately on the job search process. In most cases that is the last thing that employees need.

The Way Out

The way out first and foremost is to understand the change process and how it is likely to impact you. You do not have to be caught in the downward spiral of doom, gloom, despair and hopelessness.

>> As a manager you can offer your staff the benefits of a seminar that will boost their morale and productivity, which is often at a low, when an organization is experiencing change…Yes You Can!   
>> You can learn how to work with the forces of change and make change work for you…Yes You Can!
>> You can learn how to navigate through the rough passages and minimize the trauma, the stress, the disruption that change brings…Yes You Can!
>> You can learn how to develop the resilience and flexibility to outlast the tough times…Yes You Can!

 

The Good News about Change

The good news about change is that change can be a liberating and revitalizing experience. You can use change to wake up to new possibilities. You can pursue the dreams you had before you fell into the rut of a steady pay cheque and job security. You can go on to more fulfilling careers and relationships.
   
Some of the topics this seminar covers will include:

>> The nature of change. You will understand why you must change whether you want to or not.
>> How people see change. You will see that you are not alone in your perception of change.
>> The physical and emotional signs of stress. Your awareness of these signs will enable you to anticipate and cope with them more easily.
>> Managing stress. You will be given time tested strategies that will decrease your anxiety.
>> How to assess your hardiness as an individual. You will gain a good sense of how well you cope with stress and change, and what you need to do to increase your hardiness or resilience.
>> How to identify and overcome your resistance to change. You will see the benefits of flowing with, rather than going against the tide of change. 
>> How to make change work for you. You will see the benefits of stepping out of your comfort zone and encouraged to do so.
>> Characteristics of danger oriented vs. opportunity oriented people. You will begin to develop the characteristics of an opportunity oriented individual.
>> How to play an active and positive role in the change process. You will become an agent of change rather than a victim of change.
