Building Trust and Respect in the Workplace

Support Materials Included In Price: Participant Workbook

Trust and respect are part of the foundation of a strong and successful partnership. High-performing teams exhibit trust and respect for individual team members.

Change Management

Support Materials Included In Price: Participant Workbook

Course Description:

In a world where the needs of stakeholders, technology, environment and business are ever evolving, progress and change itself can be the key to an organization’s success or its downfall. While many understand that change is important, this understanding alone does not make the process any easier or welcomed. For some, change may be perceived as a process that brings about an environment of uncertainty, and uncertainty may result in fear and discomfort for people.

Part 1 (2 hours): Successfully Managing Change: Moving Along the Change Continuum Leading leadership thinker John Kotter says that “The primary function of leadership is to produce useful or adaptive change.” Change, however, is not an event that one simply sets in motion. Rather, it is a process that must be understood and managed. In this session we will explore the typical stages of the change process, their characteristics, and some tools and techniques you can use to help move you and others through the process to a successful conclusion.

Part 2 (2 hours): Successfully Managing Change: The People Side of Change Why do some changes succeed, and others fail? What can I do to increase the likelihood that the changes I initiate or move forward will take hold? What do I need to pay attention to when change gets challenging? How can I simplify this complex process so that I can get a better grasp of it and support my team through it? In this session we will look at a model for change that will greatly increase your chances of success.

We will present specific tools, practices, models, and instruments to tackle tasks and challenges that are part of the change process; provide tools and techniques to better understand the individual, “people-side” of change; practice the skills needed to move ourselves and others along the change continuum; explore and provide tools to understand organizational change; and practice the tools and techniques that facilitate effective change
