Changeability

Change is a fact of life, we can’t escape it yet many of us find it worrying or disconcerting. So how can you ensure that you and your staff feel committed to these changes, rather than disconnected?

Written by Jane C Woods, the changeability programme is designed to help people unblock the stresses and negative feelings that arise before, during and after change. Each programme is tailored to the needs of your business or organisation. A typical course covers issues including:

• handling resistance and cynicism
• being assertive
• working with strong emotions
• handling difficult conversations
• understanding different personal reactions to change
• effective communication through all levels of an organisation
• support for managers and staff.

Many organisations book changeability workshops in conjunction with other changingpeople courses courses as part of a comprehensive staff training programme. Either way, all participants will leave armed with relevant theoretical knowledge, reading recommendations and practical exercises that they can use in the workplace or at home.

“Jane delivered a great session to my team that was both authoritative yet informal enough to give all the team an opportunity to think and discuss the current organisational change we are experiencing. Following the session we have a better understanding of the process we are in the middle of and have a task list and graph in the office to remind us of where we are and what we need to do. Sounds simple but is anything but and Jane helped us to crystallise things as a team”
