One-on-one and/or group coaching and organizational development/management consulting are available for participants who wish to enhance this program or go into greater depth on the topic.

The Program is intended to HELP participants:

• Understand natural responses to both planned and unplanned changes that occur in everyday life
• Identify their own comfort level with both welcome and unwelcome change
• Recognize how internal desire and resistance to changes impact how we successfully respond and manage these changes
• Develop new awareness and tools to more fully embrace “the new” in their own lives

This interactive presentation facilitates introspection and small group discussion that provides participants an opportunity for close examination of specific change events in their own lives. They will consider:

• Welcome Change – there are changes in our lives that we hope for, plan for, and look forward to – new home, new job, new baby are all examples of big changes, but there are also many little changes that occur in our day to day. Even the welcome changes may bring unwelcome or unanticipated results.
• Unwelcome Change – there are many changes in our lives that are unplanned, unexpected, and out of our control – layoff, serious diagnosis, death of loved one, are all examples of some of these big changes, but there are also many little unwelcome changes occurring that impact daily life.

By the end of the program, participants will be in a better position to recognize their comfort level and responses to changes in their own lives. They will begin to develop tools to help manage both welcome and unwelcome change in order to more fully embrace “the new”.
