How the Best Adapt and Cope with Change – Be more confident, secure and productive during change. Discover how minor change can have a major impact on future success. Keep in mind: Nothing changes if nothing changes. The key is to change before you have to. Leave with an instant perspective change and the skills to sustain it. To achieve positive change you need vision – skills – incentive – resources – action plan. Without vision you get confusion, without skills you get anxiety, without incentive you get complacency, without resources you get frustration and without an action plan you get mediocrity. The audience can determine the gaps they need to fill for positive change to occur. They can also do a reverse diagnosis: If they are feeling confused – they may need to revisit their vision, etc. Dealing with the stress involved with change and how to cope will also be covered. There will be a lot of meaningful and memorable interactive exercises, tangible tips and useful information, quotes and humorous stories regarding change and raising the bar on self improvement as well as celebrating success.
