Change is something that excites people who love opportunities for growth. For some, change is harder to adjust to and can lead to expressions of resistance and anxiety. This course will inspire and give the tools for participants to confidently deal with change and help them turn feelings of resistance into resilience. Participants will better understand their pivotal role in the organization and find their own sense of purpose through the change process.
