Overview
Coping with change is never easy and can be a source of extreme stress. Most of us resist it, because we are comfortable and secure in our world as we know it. And yet, if change is an inevitable reality of life (and it is), then we’d better be prepared to respond when the unexpected comes knocking on our door.
Session Focus
This workshop will engage you in activities to help you overcome blockages to change. We will organize you into teams where you will examine the past, present and ideal future of your department and/or organization.
