Audience: Open to both managers/leaders and team-members experiencing change. This workshop is helpful for teams who are:
- currently experiencing change or anticipating change in the future
- navigating a recent reorganisation within their company (E.g. layoffs, new leadership, mergers & acquisitions, team restructure etc.)
- hoping to realign around a new vision for moving forward after a big change.
Description: Change fatigue is real, given the last few years the world has experienced. Yet change is the only constant – so we need to get better at it. Going through change, in any shape or form, can be challenging and exhausting, but when you have the tools to understand change more fully, you can work with it, rather than against it. You can move through change in a more informed, conscious way.
Navigating change with your team requires you to reflect on how you navigate change yourself before guiding others through change. In this workshop, you will learn how to bring your team together to reflect, process and make sense of the change. We will share methods and activities for bringing your team along with you on the change journey. You are encouraged to take these activities with you, to use with your own teams.
By the end of this workshop, you will:
- Recognise the three stages of transition humans move through, during any change
- Gain clarity on how you, and individuals on your team, are experiencing change
- Practice using a change model to help your team before and during change
- Create an action plan to manage through a current change your team is experiencing
