We're expected to deal with new things everyday: technology, reorganizations, new leaders, changing work needs, and our ever-evolving personal life. The problem is, our brains are wired to NOT want to change. This fun and self-reflective workshop will give you an opportunity to understand why change may be difficult for you personally and what you can do to make it easier.

Due to popular demand, this is an expansion of the workshop: Use Your Head! Change and Growth the Eas(ier) Way that was presented at both the Connecting the Dots conference and the Women of Color Career Conference in 2015.

You will learn to:

Identify the 3 most important parts of the brain that affect how people respond to change
Examine your personal barriers to accepting change
Select tools to lessen your resistance to change
Explain why the brain resists change
Recognize where you are in the cycle of change acceptance

You will benefit by:

Determining ways to increase your ability to accept change
Selecting activities that are easy to use in your daily life that will lessen your brain’s resistance
Applying models to assist you in being more comfortable with change

Audience:

Anyone who is interested in becoming more comfortable with change or who must assist others during times of change
