Welcoming Change into Your Life (Lunch & Learn)

Date: Monday, November 4, 2019 
Time: 12 p.m. to 1 pm

Change is a natural part of life. While some changes can affect the very structure of your life, other changes can have subtle impacts on your day-to-day activities. Sometimes you may be aware that a change is imminent but are uncertain about what it will involve and how it will affect your life. Situations like these can create ambiguity, worry, or a sense of loss and sadness. This session will address the emotional reactions that participants may experience when confronted with change, taking into account their personality and strength, and provide coping skills to enable them to manage change more effectively.

Learning objectives:

At the end of this session, participants will be able to do the following:

  •  Understand the four different types of change
  •  Develop strategies for managing change effectively
  •  View change in a more positive manner

Conflict Resolution

Conflict and risk are a part of our lives every day. Conflict and risky situations are a common occurrence in the workplace. Yet, often, dealing with it can be difficult and even contentious. The results can be unsatisfactory or even irreconcilable. 

This workshop reviews strategies that are successful in a variety of situations. Disagreements, strife and conflict are all part of the workplace and life in general. Our goal is to transform negative to positive behavior, and channel your thoughts and emotions into greater satisfaction and profits.

​In this workshop you will learn to:

  • Identify common communication mistakes and how to avoid them
  • Adopt techniques for building rapport and achieving trust from your colleagues
  • Reduce stress and understand the nature of conflict
