Managing Change ¡V a Workshop

Liz Parr has previously delivered workshops for SLAIG members on ¡§Learning Styles¡¨ and ¡§Understanding Communication and Patterns of Behaviour¡¨. Her third workshop will deal with managing changing.

Workshop Outline

This one day workshop will offer you the opportunity to consider how to manage and cope with change. Through case studies and example situations, we will explore different reactions to change both from a team member and line manager perspective. We will also consider a range of techniques and approaches to help you deal positively with the challenges and pressures which change may present.

Workshop objectives

To enable you to:

„h Recognise different reactions to change, both your own and other people¡¦s
„h Consider a range of coping strategies for navigating a course through times of change
„h Deal with change in a positive, assertive and constructive manner, by drawing together a ¡¥kit-bag¡¦ of skills and techniques
„h Identify what is in your control and what is outside of your control when facing change and how to deal appropriately with each situation
„h Address real situations and take the opportunity to talk through strategies for dealing and coping with change

Workshop format

The workshop will be relaxed, informal and participative. There will be opportunity to work through case studies, group and individual exercises. The emphasis will be on exploring change through real situations, and generating practical strategies and techniques for you to take away and apply.
