Managing And
Mastering Change!
“ It matters is
NOT what happens to us in life
... BUT our responses and personal choices in
times of challenges!”
There are two
distinct focuses on change management, both of which are inter-related
and interconnected. We will look at
managing change in a constantly changing workplace environment. We’ll take a long look at the demands of
change in our personal lives. At the end of the workshop, we will conclude that
change in itself is in fact more of a personal challenge ... of which I believe
... we ARE up to!
The
workshop discusses in ...
Why We May Resist Change
Not all change is progress ... but all
progress requires change!
Learn why change threatens some folks and
synergizes others!
The Predictability Principle
Change upsets predictability ... and we like
predictability!
Discover a new paradigm of how to see the
world ... and your part in it!

response (choice) to it ...
ultimately defines you.
Choices Through Change - Challenges And
Opportunities!

the challenges as opportunities for personal and professional growth.
From Change To Transition
Change is often an event or series of events
which is external to our lives.
Transition is the “re-orientation” that
happens inside each of us as we adapt.
The Adaptability Skill
Perhaps THE most useful skill that you can
nurture in yourself ... is the ability to adapt and evolve!
Discover the steps in adapting through
change.

Summary
Every progressive
organization changes and this workshop provides practical and positive solutions
to help people… help others and themselves through the dynamics of change! Constant change seems to be the ONLY
predictable experience in today’s workplace. How you personally cope with
change and help other people through it, says a lot about you, your character
and your personal choices and can determine your career success. Learn how to
grow, adapt and evolve emotionally, mentally, and intellectually through change and
challenge ... and be strengthened by the experience. An uplifting workshop for
those folks immersed in a constantly changing life ... or about to be!
Leadership
Through Conflict: Opportunities For Growth!
The
upside of analyzing and resolving a conflict is that it can be catalyst for both
personal and organizational growth. This workshop attempts to better understand
the dynamics of conflict and the important role and opportunity that leadership
plays in resolution. Progressive leaders learn to see conflict as a dialogue
initiator and a process to define and sustain relationships. The end result is
that leaders can then create a workplace environment in which conflict
resolution becomes an employee-initiated process and to reinforce important
leadership concepts that build stronger team based workplaces. An added
component of this workshop is a “roundtable” discussion so that leaders can
listen to the perspectives and suggestions of group participants.

Summary
As it is inevitable
that conflict will occasionally occur even inside the best teams and with
people with strong interpersonal skills, this workshop clearly addresses how
any conflict can be a learning and growing experience for the individuals
involved and an opportunity for the organization to create useful dialogue
through challenging issues.
The core skills
in this workshop allow individuals to recognize that leadership styles and
personality styles play the most significant determiner of how conflict may
occur. In organized “ roundtable formats”, participants can dialogue and
discuss what they’ve learned through conflict and share positive approaches and
suggestions.
Building
Personal Confidence And Self-Esteem!
This workshop
explores self-esteem in depth and expands on the important role it plays in our
professional lives. Self-Esteem and self-confidence affects our ability to make
confident decisions and choices, assists us in our ability to work through
change and challenge and provides the basis for our ability to address
criticism and failure in a more productive manner. Broken into four distinct sections, we’ll spend a day discussing
four constructive and positive habits and approaches to building our self-esteem
and self-confidence in the workplace.
Lesson # 1. Improving Our Self-Concept With Improved
Internal Communication
Exercise # 1.

and communication to build a more positive approach.
Lesson # 2. Creating Personal Success Through Creative,
Constructive Visualization
Exercise # 2.
Group
participants create constructive visualizations to aid in problem solving and “
brainstorming”. A component on “blue-skying” will be introduced with the goal
of reinforcing the power and value of imagination and cognitive thinking has on
personal value.
Lesson # 3. Choice Management: 101
Exercise # 3.
Group participants
work together to discuss recent events and challenges that they have faced in
their workplaces ... discuss how they coped with these challenges ... and learn
how they can approach these challenges differently and more effectively in the
future.
Lesson # 4. Supercharging Yourself and Your Self-Esteem Every Day!
Exercise # 4.
Group
participants create a master list of solutions on how they can personally
through realistic and attainable choices improve their workplace conditions,
attitudes and productivity. We develop our self-esteem best through a positive
and purposeful environment.
Promotional
Summary
We can’t change what
happens in life, but we can build ourselves up to be stronger, more resilient, confident
individuals ... who can then contribute to making their own world a better
place to live and work. Your self-esteem profoundly affects EVERY aspect of
your life... learn how to build yourself up, in a challenging world! This
workshop has been described as a workshop that empowers and challenges
participants to work everyday on their self-improvement ... and to enjoys the
benefits of doing so.
