Managing Change: Riding the Waves

We believe in embracing change as an opportunity, not a challenge. Our Managing Change: Riding the Waves workshop is designed to equip supervisors and managers with the skills needed to help their teams navigate the emotional and behavioral responses to organizational change. We don’t believe in resisting change—growth comes when you learn to ride the waves.

Understanding Resistance to Change

Because adaptation matters. Resistance is a natural human response to change, but understanding the root causes can help managers address it effectively. This workshop explores:

Sources of Resistance: Identify where resistance to change stems from, such as fear of the unknown, loss of control, or miscommunication.
Strategies to Overcome Resistance: Learn techniques to address resistance, like building trust, transparent communication, and involving employees in the process.

We don’t believe in forcing change—engagement and empathy smooth the way.

Personal Response to Change

We believe in self-awareness as the first step to leading others through change. The workshop also focuses on analyzing your own response to change, helping you identify personal biases that could influence your management style. You will:

Reflect on Your Own Biases: Recognize how your personal response to change affects your team and learn how to manage your own emotions to lead more effectively.
Minimize the Impact of Biases: Develop strategies to ensure that your personal feelings about change don’t negatively affect your team’s performance or morale.

We don’t believe in blind leadership—self-awareness leads to stronger leadership.

Steps in the Change Process

We believe in making change manageable. The change process can be complex, but by breaking it down into steps, managers can guide their teams through it with confidence. Participants will:

Understand the Change Process: Learn the stages of change, from initial awareness to commitment, and how to support employees at each step.
Role-Play Change Scenarios: Engage in role-play exercises to practice implementing change in real-world situations, helping to develop effective communication and action plans.
Create Action Steps: Participants will plan, script, and rehearse specific action steps to implement change successfully in their own workplaces.

We don’t believe in letting change happen by chance—planning and communication lead to smoother transitions.

Key Takeaways

By the end of this workshop, you will have:

A Deeper Understanding of Resistance: Know how to identify and address the root causes of resistance to change.
Practical Tools for Change Management: Gain experience through role-play and action planning that you can implement in your workplace.
Personal Insight: Increase self-awareness about your own biases and learn how to prevent them from affecting your change management approach.

Customized Training Program Lengths Available: One-Day

This one-day skill-building participant-centered workshop is designed to assist supervisors and managers in improving their abilities to manage employees’ emotional and behavioral responses to organizational, programmatic and procedural changes. It provides information regarding the sources of resistance to change and techniques to address and overcome that resistance. It also uses interactive exercises to teach the steps in the change process and give the participants an opportunity to plan, script and role-play action steps they can take to implement the changes in their work situations.

The workshop includes an analysis of the participants’ personal response to the changes they must implement and administer, so that they can be aware of their biases and minimize the effect of their own biases on their change management strategies.
