Got Changes at Work? New fun workshop.

I love offering materials designed by my friends at 6seconds.org. Bring this fun, interactive workshop to your next professional development day.

 
Managing Emotions to Drive Change

It is estimated that over 70% of change initiatives in organizations do not yield the results that are needed. There are many reasons for these failures; one key reason is the lack of preparation for and skill with the human-side of change. Great strategies fail when managers don’t create buy-in or execute the change in an emotionally intelligent way.

By the end of this workshop participants will: 

         Become aware of the emotional side of change

         Understand why change efforts typically fail

         Learn the EQ Change Model and the Cycle of Resistance

         Use the Six Seconds EQ Model to understand the emotional skills required

         Integrate the key ideas by planning for an upcoming change

This workshop helps those leading change to consider the emotional dynamics of change. It introduces them to a powerful roadmap for considering the people-side of change, and helps them identify the key skills they need to develop and leverage in order to follow that map.
