“Change can be exhilarating when we do it, and, it can be debilitating when it is done to us.”
– Rosabeth Moss Kanter
Change is always coming. It’s essential to be able to move from coping to excelling
This one-day workshop will help participant get from where they are to where they need to be. It’s designed for all those people affected by change. Our Change Happens training will introduce skills to help participants transition from the old reality to the new reality.

- How change affects individuals demonstrates how people react to the transition from the old to the new. Participants rate their readiness for change and challenges they face during transition.
- Strategies for moving from coping to excelling with change evaluates participant’s readiness for change and provides stress management tools to equip people to transition successfully through a change.
