All participants will receive a copy of Simple Lessons for Change Leaders and Teams: Communication, Collaboration, Project Management, by workshop leaders Karen R. Brown, MSW and Yvette L. Harms, PMP.
Change is happening all around us every day. We all have the choice to help lead it and achieve the best possible outcome or step out of the way and hope for the best. Taking action as a change leader is not about your title or position in an organization. It is about how you Communicate, Collaborate and Control your work. This interactive workshop will help you develop your potential as a change leader and add to your professional skill set.
In today’s fast changing, innovative, internet driven world, being good at change is in high demand. Whether you are leading a change team, are a team member, or are watching from the sidelines, demonstrating these skills will identify you as a change leader: a true partner.
Attend and Learn to:
- Make time for the change
- Get others on board with change
- Communicate as a partner, not as an order taker
- Resolve conflict throughout the change process
- Reach the best possible outcome during every step of the change process
- Use simple and effective tools to develop your potential as a change leader
