Overview/Description
Think about a specific problem that you've resolved. Chances are, you weren't able to resolve it immediately. In fact, most problem resolution takes time. This is the same for change. To become skilled at making changes, you have to give yourself time. You must do the necessary work to overcome your fears and anxiety. You must also understand the way in which you cope. Then you'll be better able to navigate your way through the stages of change. This course, "Making the Change", will assist you in doing all the necessary work involved in change and walk you through the six stages of personal change. Upon completion, you'll be equipped to handle the organisational change that comes your way.

Managers, supervisors, team leaders
