Leading Change in Volatile Times


Extreme uncertainty in the business environment has become the new norm. Organizations must adapt quickly to the changing environment. And, while change may be inevitable, buy in is not.

Shifting a workforce’s resistance to change requires an understanding of psychological responses to it. To prevent negative consequences of well-intended change leadership, it’s important to first know why change fails, and then embed a transparent change culture that’s applied at all levels. This fast-paced, highly engaging session will provide tools and insights to help leaders support and guide colleagues through implementing organizational change.

Seats are limited to the first 30 applicants. A wait list will be available.
