“Excellent and very helpful. It changed my focus from being fearful of change to seeing that the more people get involved in it, the better – and from being negative about change to seeing how I can get included and possibly win over others too. Tools were great – and the way we were shown how to use them gave you lots of ideas. I now feel more confident to personally handle change” Dennis Wyatt, Qld Health

Preparing Yourself for Change -- What this Program is About...

Coping with change can be stressful – even if you’re in control of it. It’s twice as stressful for those who don’t feel much in control of it at all.

Many people often feel overwhelmed or powerless facing major change. Some enthusiastically embrace it. But it also leaves many feeling pessimistic, deflated, cheated or change-fatigued.

This 1-day clinic is for staff who want to learn how to change. It takes a look at the personal side of change and helps you to identify what you can do to prepare yourself better for it, cope with change better, and engage with it more constructively.

In this clinic, you can learn to:

	Manage the personal & emotional dynamics of change
	Reflect on your typical responses & reactions to change
	Identify impacts change has on you & how to cope with it
	Improve the way you handle change & make it work for you
	Increase your change-ability & overcome change anxiety
	Use tools to navigate your way around change and engage with it more positively

Topics we cover...

	How people change: why we love to & hate to
	Change-ability: taking your change temperature
	How I respond to change – emotions, attitudes, reactions
	Finding out what this change is all about
	Models managers use to talk change – & so can you
	Emotions mapping – what I think & feel about change
	Controlling change stories: taking a different view
	Checking my change assumptions & concerns
