Note: This is a recording of a live webinar held on August 28, 2024.  

Training Overview:

In today's dynamic workplace, organizational change is both inevitable and essential for growth.  However, successfully navigating change requires more than strategic planning - it demands a deep understanding of the challenges that individuals and teams face during organizational change, and knowledge in how to effectively manage them. 
 
In this training, you'll learn: 

• Nervous system-based frameworks to help you make sense of - and respond to - the most common challenges that present during windows or organizational change 

• Why and how change activates survival response systems that compromise our adaptability and resilience 

• How to work with the nervous system to overcome rigidity, tunnel vision, resistance, fear, stress, and common emotional responses to change
