Thriving in the Midst of Change
See a Sample of This Teleseminar
Change is inevitable; how we handle it is a choice.
Successful change happens to the degree that each person is aware of what’s going on – not only out in the external world of events, but more importantly, in the internal world of feelings – the loss and confusion that often accompanies change.
The fact is, all of us will have to face change in one form or another during our lives. We can either deal with it up front, or end up experiencing double the angst later on.
The big question is – how do we deal with change effectively? What strategies exist to help ease the experience that can be so difficult to handle? And why is change so difficult to begin with?
Your participants will learn the answers to these questions as they gain greater insight into what change is and why the process of change can be so tricky. They will explore what it takes to move through that process with peace and calmness and discover how a simple shift in their perspective can open up a greater degree of acceptance for change.
