How to Be with Change (at Work) When the Change Is Not What You Want

You know what they say… the only constant is change. Still, for something that is ever-present, change is often not welcome, even if it eventually turns out to be a good thing. Think back to transitions you’ve been through - from the personal to professional to moving, relationships, family drama, money ups and downs – how many of us say, “Yes, please!” to all of that upheaval?

In this interactive session, we will explore the concept of change, and how to roll with the inevitability of something that we often prefer to avoid.

Through discussion and guided exercises, we will explore:

• The emotional impact of unwanted change
• Resistance that comes up
• Building resilience and adaptability to navigate unexpected circumstances
• Practical strategies and tools for understanding the change in the context of the bigger picture of your life
• Cultivating acceptance and a growth mindset to find opportunities within change

This session will provide you with tools and strategies for navigating difficult change, and for accessing the capacity for acceptance, resilience, and adaptability within you.
