Dancing with change: Finding your rhythm in life's ever-changing beat

Change is inevitable, uncomfortable and challenging. However, many forget that change also brings about choices, opportunity, and control. That is why learning how to manage change for ourselves and others is so important.

This workshop will also provide the tools and tips needed for leaders and individuals to foster an environment that is adaptable to change, which helps everyone move forward.  
  
Key takeaways:  
  • Understand the challenges of change 
  • Explore the different stages of change 
  • Examine the symptoms we experience during change  
  • Identify ways to cope with change 
  
Key tools/resources: 
  • Self-awareness 
  • Implementing ways to create adaptability 
  • Coping strategies  
  • Reflection questions
