Overview:

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

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
