Course Description

The Coping with Change course is an intense 1-day experience where attendees will develop new life changing skills. These new skills will not only help them in the workplace but every area of their life.  There is a balanced mix of learning styles utilised in the course ensuring all attendees have the opportunity to learn in a way they find easiest and most enjoyable.

Change is the one constant we face in life, both in our work and our personal lives.

Thanks to significant advances in technologies and social networks, change is not only more frequent but it happens quicker than ever.

With an ever-changing landscape in the world and economies, in every industry public or private, all businesses have no choice but to flex to survive.

But what does this mean for us as individuals? Are we as humans equipped to deal with this level of change? The short answer is yes but only if we understand what is happening and how to manage some of the physical and emotional impacts on us.

We are all different, but by understanding why our bodies and minds react as they do, we can come up with our own personal coping strategies.

The Coping with Change course is a powerful and enabling 1-day course, which everyone should have the opportunity to do.
