A3) Healthy Communication and Forced Changes
Presented by Bill Gallagher, Founder, Trainer, and Instructor, TeamWorks
Class Description:
It has been rightly said that, "A change imposed is a change opposed!" Even though the change of this past year couldn't be resisted, there are still healthy ways to adapt to and emerge from this forced transition in ways that have pressed us to be sharper and more efficient.
In this training we'll see the three types of employees that emerge from change and the preferred role we should fit into, as well as realistically embracing the awkwardness of change and moving past it, and keeping our healthy communication skills in-tact without falling prey to toxic forms of conversation at work.
The overall theme suggests: "10% of life at work is what happens to us, 90% of our workplace experience is how we react to what has happened to us."
Learning Objectives:
- How to move towards adapting rather than being stuck in resistance to change.
- Three ways we can prepare for change that stabilizes the workforce.
- Developing healthier workplace communication skills through awkward times and situations.
