Key Objectives:

• Discover the mindsets that best support change and how to sustain them
• Practice self-awareness methods to help identify your own unique obstacles to embracing change
• Examine your own resiliency to change and the role your emotions play 
• Learn new responses to change that are in alignment with being your best self

Overview of Presentation:

Did you know that only 10% of people are currently in their childhood dream job? Why? Things change. Plan B (and sometimes Plan C, D, and E) take over. Change does not have to be scary, disappointing, or avoided…it can be embraced, sought after, and even a blessing. If you know how you (and even an entire organization) subconsciously respond to change, you can begin the process of making change work in your favor, even the unpredicted changes. Whether it is a personal change, professional change, or a wide-scale organizational change, learn how to thrive and be your best self during change.
