changes in the last two years. A major challenge they are running into is how
difficult change is to adapt to both emotionally and mentally. Give your people
the tools and attitudes to be "change ready" - a mental/emotional
state in which they seek solutions instead of blaming others. They look for
opportunities in the changes and choose optimism. They vent their emotions in a
helpful way and accept change more quickly.

Change Ready Leadership:
Strategies to Create Positive Change
Presented by Gregg Brown, Author of “Ready, Set,
Change AGAIN!”
Most of us are required to lead change as part of our
regular roles whether you are in the BA or PM field. Our staff, clients,
colleagues and vendors may think they are ‘change ready’ because of their
expertise, yet no one is ready for change that might have a negative impact on
them, or that might increase the amount of work they have on their plate! What
tools are available to help those of us navigate the speed of change as we try
to get the people we influence engaged in our ideas? To evolve and be future
ready for the changing environment, we need to build these capabilities as
there’s no end to the multiple changes that happen at work.
In this interactive session, we will examine 5 strategies that you can use with your colleagues, co-workers and stakeholders.
