Thriving in Change

This workshop is based on Afsaneh’s book Change Thrivers—Your Resource Guide for Making Change Work. It is designed to help individuals explore the nature of transformational change. Participants examine suitable responses to welcome the various stages of change. The Change Thriver Model focuses people on developing three sets of necessary characteristics; solid mindset and belief system to stay anchored, self-preservation tools to weather the storms, and effective approaches to reinventing themselves. The awareness and techniques gained in this workshop empower participants to go beyond survival and learn how to thrive through changes.

Facilitative Change Leadership

Effective leaders know that essential leadership skills include demonstrating empathy, recognizing the significance of emotions on behavior and choosing appropriate ways to cope with their own and others’ responses to change. This is a dynamic learning program for leaders who want to skillfully guide change initiatives. It focuses on how to lead organizations through the most challenging aspects of change: understanding the need for it and the initial resistance to it. Organizations constantly face new challenges that require evolving policies and processes. Yet organizational change also means individual change, which is often an emotional experience for the people going through it.

Change Ready organizations

Changing roles and priorities have an impact at all levels of organizations. Leading and functioning well in a changing organization requires effective leadership skills, integration of social and technical team skills, while aligning support systems. Understanding the nature of change and the human side of work is the key to creating a trusting work environment. This workshop offers an overview for establishing collaborative team-based environments where people are equipped to respond to change effectively and can take advantage of the opportunities it may offer.
