Overview/Description
When the organisation you work for changes and demands that you change along with it, cautiousness and uncertainty are natural. Change indicates the end of the tried, trusted and familiar. But change is also a new beginning—a catalyst into a new and potentially exciting personal future. "Preparing for Change" focuses on the mental attitudes and behaviours you need to develop in order to take advantage of the opportunities for personal growth that can accompany organisational change. You gain insights into how to learn and when to learn. You acquire the skills and strategies you need to manage your change effectively. The course also shows you how to focus on the future in ways that will encourage successful personal outcomes from the change process.
