Mastering change may be the most essential competency for living a successful life today. Changes happen at a faster pace each year. Unlike 25-30 years ago, most people will have multiple careers in multiple organizations. Unfortunately, our educational backgrounds and cultural expectations do not prepare us for the inevitable changes that we will face.
Successful people will be those who have developed the skills and attitudes required to change in response to the unpredictable and uncertain world we live in. Successful people will excel when change occurs because their transformational skills will allow them to react quicker and maximize the opportunities that changes present.
This presentation will help you determine your level of competency for handling change. You will learn specific steps to improve your ability to deal with changes that affect you personally. You will also learn how to lead change and be equipped to lead your team and your family through changing situations.
