Description:
Facilitating Change and Managing Resistance
Presenter: Nancy Hardaway, Listening 2 Leaders
If we didn’t have to worry about the people, change would be easy, wouldn’t it? Successful change is all about the people. In this program, we’ll look at the steps of an ideal change cycle and where organizations often get stuck. Through the lens of different change scenarios, such as a change in benefits or a new HR software implementation, we’ll explore how you can help leaders and staff move toward change. With any change, there is also resistance. In the second part of this program, we’ll talk about why resistance surfaces, how it is expressed in various behaviors, and how to respond effectively in communication and other strategies. This will be a stimulating, fun and interactive program that will give you practical tools and tips you can use in your organization.
Attending members may also bring a guest free of charge by using the promotional code SPRING when registering your guest.

- Understand, and help others understand, the sources of conflict and the cost of leaving it unresolved
- Clarify their own approach to (or retreat from!) conflict
- Resolve conflict using controlled disagreement and help use conflict to one’s advantage
- Use different techniques to resolve any conflict
- between others
- between yourself and another
- between departments
- among team members
- Practice conflict resolution skills through role play and group critique
