Workshops Overview
All workshops have these features in common:
- Common Goal: Positive change that STICKS.
- Common Target: Resistance to change.
We eliminate the people problems by dissolving resistance
to change.
- Action Oriented.
We not only talk about dissolving resistance to change,
we DO IT.
- Personalized Action Plans.
Participants develop a plan to carry out specific, personally
relevant activities over the days and weeks after the workshop.
- New Proprietary Methodology.
Our workshops are based on a new methodology for "dissolving
resistance to change" we developed. It leverages participants'
experience of how they have successfully made changes in
their personal life to become change leaders at work.
- Educational Experiences, Not Therapy.
Our workshops are problem-solving sessions. They provide
an applied educational experience for the participants.
Participants are helped to identify their personal change
resources so they can look to the future and ask, "How
can I be more effective?
Thumbnail descriptions of each workshop:
Building Support for Change
This workshop helps change leaders lay the groundwork for
creating widespread support for change projects. First it
deals with change leaders' own resistance to the change project.
Then it helps them plan the steps in the change leadership
process, including specific ways to dissolve their followers'
resistance to change at each step.
Conducting the Resistance
Dissolving Discussion
This workshop teaches change leaders how to employ a topic-by-topic
discussion guide for helping their followers' dissolve resistance
to a change project.
Smoothing the Transition
This workshop gives employees and managers the skills to defuse
their natural resistance to a change project so they can more
easily determine how to realize the positive benefits it offers.
Rebuilding Trust After
Change
All changes violate some aspects of "how things used
to be," including the expectations, assumptions, hopes,
and beliefs associated with the status quo. This workshop
helps reestablish the trust that has been damaged by these
violations.
Planning for Change
This workshop helps change leaders bring "uncluttered"
rational problem solving to bear on planning a change without
the distracting and distorting effects of naturally-occurring
resistance to change - which everyone who is affected by the
project initially has.
Dissolving
Resistance to e-Learning
This workshop helps trainers and learners take maximum advantage
of e-learning's potential. It helps learners productively
deal with the naturally-occurring resistance to change that
comes with doing two new things: learning up-to-the-minute
content about work and learning how to use a new computer
technology.
This workshop comes in two versions: one for trainers and
one for e-learners.
Dissolving Resistance
to T&D
This workshop shows trainers how to help their students to
take full advantage of the training and development learning
opportunity. They learn why all students come to sessions
with some degree of resistance to learning. They also learn
how to help students dissolve that resistance and focus on
the learning experience.
Revitalizing Stuck Projects
This workshop helps leaders and employees turn a stalled change
project into a viable improvement again. By first dealing
with their disappointment and other reactions to the original
effort's loss of momentum, this workshop confronts and dissolves
their normal resistance to putting effort into the change
project again. Decreased development costs and increased hope
for positive change result.
Dissolving
Resistance to Coaching
This workshop increases coaching clients' ability to make
desired changes. By dissolving clients' naturally-occurring
resistance to change, the workshop enables clients to accept
feedback more objectively and to change the agreed-upon behaviors
more effectively and smoothly.
This workshop is delivered in two versions: one for coaches
and one for coaching clients.
Preparing for 360-Based
Leadership Development
This workshop prepares clients for taking maximum advantage
of a 360 feedback and coaching session. By dissolving their
normal resistance to change, the workshop enables clients
to understand and accept the need for change identified by
the 360 survey. It also helps the client remain open to the
coach's suggestions for making changes.
This workshop is delivered in two versions: one for coaches
and one for coaching clients.
