Working in Challenging Times
Working in Challenging Times (one-day) helps participants understand how people lose energy in times of change and what can be done to regain it. These programs focus on providing the skills and strategies to help leaders and individuals deal with the day-to-day aspects of change. The program provides practical and actionable tools and skills to help the workforce be at its best and effectively move through change.
Working in Challenging Times is comprised of four units: Facing Challenging Times, Exploring Discretionary Energy, Taking Stock, Going Forward.
Working in Challenging Times Program Overview
This one-day program helps individuals understand their own reactions to change and how those reactions can impact their energy. Participants learn how to discuss their reactions with their manager, team leader, or peers and begin to take actionable steps to address the challenges.
Facing Challenging Times
This unit focuses on organizational and individual challenges that appear as a result of change. It also discusses discretionary energy and what happens to it when events disrupt periods of stability.
Exploring Discretionary Energy
This unit introduces a model for understanding the influence change has on energy. The issue of gain versus loss, the types of loss, and its implications on individuals and organizations are also explored.
Taking Stock
In this unit the focus becomes restoring energy by taking stock of what participants and others they work with are experiencing. Participants learn strategies and skills to move them and others through change.
Going Forward
This unit provides the skills and tools to help participants seize accountability for going forward. As participants learn what their change opportunities are, they then learn how to build a mindset focusing on the context of opportunity. Finally, they develop a set of personal strategies for going forward, which will make the change positive and successful.
