Leading Change presented by Working Human - Register Here
Date: Friday February 21, 2025
Time: 9:00 a.m. - 12:00 p.m.
Location: Peterborough Campus, In-person
Leading Change begins with a stark reality: 70% of organizational change initiatives fail, often due to inadequate change management. For leaders, mastering change management is critical to navigating the complexities of today's dynamic workplaces. This course explores the intersection of Dr. Elizabeth Kübler-Ross's Emotional Change Curve and the ADKAR framework, supporting leaders in leveraging their emotional intelligence while applying key strategies to drive successful transitions. Through the application of change management theory to real-world case studies, learners will develop the skills necessary to lead meaningful and sustainable change initiatives.
Registration is required no later than February 13, 2025.
