Champions for Change
"
If it weren’t for people, change would be
easy!" That's the refrain often sung by business leaders.
The technical side of change is tangible and predictable.
Leaders typically are comfortable with hard skills such as
planning, scheduling and budgeting. But the people side of
change is often uncomfortable and challenging. Most
unsuccessful initiatives fail because we don't put enough
effort into the human side of change. The good news is that
there are proven techniques and skills available to attend to
the human side of the equation. Champions for Change focuses on
three key entities in the change process - the change leader or
"Champion," the organization undergoing change and the
individuals being asked to change.
WORKSHOP TOPICS:
Personal Assessment - A Champion for Change is
one who readily accepts and embraces change and inspires others
to make positive change happen. Participants develop a solid
understanding and gain personal feedback on their ability to
accept and lead change.
Keys to Successful Organizational Change - The
transitional phases an organization and individuals encounter
on the journey from resistance to acceptance of change are
normal and predictable. You will learn to recognize the key
transitional phases and the critical steps to take to move
yourself, the organization and individuals forward.
Experiencing The Human Dynamics of Change -
To effectively help others through transition, a Champion must
understand and empathize with the range of concerns and
emotions people experience when faced with change. A highlight
of the workshop is an exhilarating outdoor activity that
challenges you to step outside your comfort zone and accomplish
a seemingly impossible task. Our Challenge Course activity
brings to life the challenges people face when asked to change
- and provides a positive model for the techniques and methods
required to help people move forward.
Coaching Others Through Change - Everyone reacts differently when confronted with change. Some seek the new and different and move quickly forward, others take a while longer and a few can't make the transition. You will learn a one-on-one coaching process to support individuals in transition.
Making Change Happen - Return on investment comes when successful change occurs in your organization. Armed with workshop tools and techniques and the coaching and support of the faculty and other Champions, you will create a people transition plan for a major work initiative. Follow through coaching is available when you return to the workplace on an as needed basis.
