Changes in thinking. Changes in process and responsibility. Changes in technology, policy and in interpersonal relationships. With all of the change happening, one would think that we would be good at communicating through it. Why then, is change so easy for some and so hard for others?

When change happens, how do you respond? Are you a “change agent,” -- one that plunges ahead and goes with the flow, or are you a “change resister,” – someone who constructs mental hurdles and/or puts on the brakes? During this dynamic and interactive presentation, we’ll explore the unique styles of how individuals deal with change. You’ll learn easy-to-apply communication strategies, to help you effectively navigate any change.

You'll learn:

- Why some changes are easier to make than others
- Techniques for disputing irrational beliefs surrounding change
- How to recognize and overcome approach-avoidance behavior
- Words and phrases to use and lose during times of change
- Common emotions experienced during change
- How to avoid 10 common “fight strategies” that may get in your way
- 5 Reasons Why People Listen
- How to recognize the fact that when one door closes, another door opens

"I can't begin to thank you for the presentation you gave to my group. I got the surveys back today from the team about the meeting and there were so many people that said your presentation was the best of the meeting. You started me off on the right foot with this team and I will always be grateful for that. Today they all wore the shirts I gave them in order to show me they were unified behind me and gave me a standing ovation for the meeting. How great is that?? Thanks for everything! I would love to work together with you again in the future."
