Managing Change: How to gain clarity and take action during uncertain times.

When the only constant thing in life is change, why is it still so challenging for us to manage it?

When we think of change management, we think of a robust strategy to regulate the impact of large-scale organizational changes.

Yet we, as individuals, when we’re dealing with our own version of massive change, try to manage it by ourselves without a plan or support system in place.

In this workshop, Sarah shows how we can take complex change management practices typically used for organizational change, simplify them, and practically apply them to ourselves to influence our desired outcomes and reduce uncertainty.

You’ll learn how to approach changes in your work and life with the structure and support that you deserve. The more you can be a champion of change, channel your energy into solution-oriented ideas and focus on what you can influence, the more successful outcomes you’ll experience.
