Every week thousands of people leaders are asked—or told—to lead through a change they didn't initiate and one that their employees will likely resist. People are complex when it comes to change. We're hardwired to learn and grow on the one hand, while on the other, changes trigger our threat response, causing resistance. Unfortunately, most leaders waste valuable time and energy responding to "resistance" as a problem, further slowing down transformation. This conversation will help HR and people leaders implementing a change - often caught in the middle between those making change decisions and employees who resist them - become more effective at understanding and mitigating "resistance," a root cause of why many changes struggle to succeed. 

Learning Outcomes:

1. Learn 5 of the most relevant brain science concepts that can be used to engage employees more effectively to achieve change adoption earlier.
2. Learn the 3 priorities of change leadership, and some key actions that make it more likely employees will buy in vs. resist your change. 
3. Use a simple, communication-based approach for greater success when managing tough questions and emotional reactions.

This month's topic: Networking 

Do you have your own personal Board of Directors?  You might have had a mentor in the past, but was it enough? Maybe you need a sponsor . . .  

In this day and age, you would most benefit from having your own Personal Board of Directors. 

Let's get together and discuss who should be on your PBOD. 

We will have a very brief discussion about PBOD's, then break into small groups for further discussion and networking conversations.
