Change can be disruptive, unsettling, and challenging to navigate — especially when it arrives unexpectedly. Whether it’s a company restructuring, a challenging new project rollout, or a major shift in team dynamics, change can trigger anxiety and hesitation. Without clear communication, trust, and respect, teams risk losing focus, momentum, and stability.
When teams prepare to face change with authenticity and intention, they create a safer, more supportive environment where individuals can adapt without feeling overwhelmed. By understanding what drives our natural responses to change, teams can better manage emotions, maintain open communication, and stay connected—even when things feel chaotic.
Embracing change doesn’t have to be overwhelming. With a thoughtful mix of humor, empathy, and teamwork, your group can move forward with confidence. When people feel supported, even the most hesitant team members can find themselves ready to lean in and say, “I’m on board!”
In this session, we’ll explore practical ways to help your team recover from challenges and build resilience together. By tapping into creativity, collaboration, and a positive mindset, teams can move through disruption and thrive in a new normal—without harm or hardship.

Most change initiatives include training sessions for supervisors and managers to help them better implement those initiatives. However, few change initiatives include sessions designed to help individual contributors better deal with those changes being implemented by their supervisors and managers. To that end, this four-hour change management training program is designed either as a stand-alone session or as a complementary session to the Leading Change training. Created in a highly interactive format, the session will help participants deal more effectively with workplace change – and provide specific communication strategies and techniques to help them influence their supervisors and managers to lead more effectively during periods of workplace change.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this training program, participants will be able to:
- Understand the stages of dealing with change – as well as how and why they personally struggle with change
- Diagnose how they are currently dealing with a significant workplace change, as identified by the Dealing with Change Assessment
- Connect their scores on the Dealing with Change Assessment to the behaviors of the four key stakeholders in change initiatives
- Anticipate and overcome the challenges of dealing with change in living systems
- Identify ways to help their leaders effectively implement the five dimensions of change
Delivery
In-person or live webinar for your organization’s group.
Suitable for:
Groups of 5 – 25 participants. Larger groups can be accommodated.
Length
Two hours, half day, or full day.
Location
If delivered in person, the training will be held at your site or a venue rented by your organization.

Change management is no longer only a dedicated role. With the ongoing nature of change, leading change effectively has evolved to be a skill requirement for many leaders and staff to support transitions and successfully execute results. And it is a skillset that requires dedicated development and support.
This course will articulate the value of applying change management practices to any new or adjusted practice or program. It will also provide tools for practical application, including a model, tools and templates, and case studies to support critically evaluating how key actions can support positive change experiences and implementation success. This workshop will also provide opportunity to apply learning and begin planning a current or upcoming change effort to quickly begin turning learning into skills, and impact results.

In today’s chaotic world, the only constant is change. In the span of less than 15 years, we’ve already experienced a Great Recession that wiped out decades of consumer wealth and a once-in-a-century pandemic that is still reshaping our society. In the face of rapid technological advances and automation, shifting demographics, and economic turbulence, trying to stay in the same place is no longer an option. In this workshop, you will gain the tools to see change as an opportunity rather than a threat and prepare your organization at the strategic and individual levels for the future.
Course Objectives
Upon completion of this training program, participants will be able to:
- Determine how change-ready you and your organization is using the Antifragile framework
- Use Mind Maps to identify key threats and opportunities for the future
- Map and analyze emerging crises and ready your organization for new risks
- Future proof yourself and enhance decision by acquiring “mindsets” rather than just new skill sets

The world as we knew it changed in March of 2020. Since then we have been on a journey unlike anything we’ve experienced before. We’ve had to refocus our priorities and overcome numerous obstacles in our personal and professional lives. We have attempted to pivot, rise, adapt, be flexible, find silver linings, and face challenges head-on. While change is inevitable, we have been living through an unprecedented time of rapid and unsolicited change. Many of us are struggling with how to cope. There are complex feelings that go along with change as well as a variety of responses we can have towards it.
In this engaging presentation, Kari examines the process of change and shares ideas for how we can use humor and heart to thrive through change. Kari also discusses the importance of perspective, the role of courage, and the power of compassion. If we want to cultivate our resilience, we need to reconnect with the best parts of ourselves. Doing this will enable us to truly thrive as we navigate the challenges and changes in our lives.
