SBDC Leading Through Change: Practical Tools for Navigating Change
Change is a constant in today’s workplace. Whether you’re stepping into a new leadership role, growing a business, navigating uncertainty, implementing a new process, or helping others adapt to new ways of working, how you respond to change can make a significant difference.
Leading through change requires more than communicating what is changing. It requires understanding how people experience change, recognizing your own responses and assumptions, and creating the conditions that help people move forward.
In this interactive workshop, participants will explore practical frameworks and tools for leading themselves and others through change. Through discussion, reflection, activities, and real-world application, participants will examine how people experience change and how self-awareness, communication, relationships, and trust influence their ability to navigate it.
Participants will apply practical change frameworks to real-world situations and explore strategies for engaging others, responding constructively to resistance, and building momentum. The focus is not on following a single model, but on developing a set of approaches leaders can adapt to different people, situations, and types of change.
Participants will leave with practical frameworks and tools they can use to navigate change with greater intention, support others more effectively, and lead change in their own organizations.
