Even though we know that change is imperative and important, the very word itself can send shockwaves of fear, skepticism, and reluctance throughout your office's halls. Why is this?

As a result, even the most grounded and rational change initiative can (and often will) fail. This training will tool participants with a framework for approaching, planning, and implementing change, both formally and informally. We approach change-initiatives from a logistical, strategic, as well as a social-psychological perspective. Participants will leave this training ready to lead through change.
