Change is constant. New projects, a reorganization, a different boss or a new job.
Whether change is organization-wide or specific to individual departments or employees, everyone reacts to change in a predictable manner.
The more we know about the process of change, the better equipped we are to take steps towards the acceptance of change and adapt to it effectively in our work and our lives.
This workshop teaches participants how be more productive during times of change and seize opportunities in spite of uncertainty.
Learn about The Rollercoaster of Change© - how it describes the normal journey that everyone experiences during change.
Determine where you and your team are on the wild rollercoaster ride.
Understand strategies to lessen the impact of the rollercoaster on yourself and your people.
Remain focused in the face of changing circumstances and relationships.
See change as an opportunity instead of a loss.
Through large and small group discussions and individual reflection, this workshop will help participants learn about the impacts of change on themselves and their organization.
It will help them become more productive and build action plans to move quickly and effectively through the changes.
This workshop is designed for individual contributors and leaders.

I love coaching during uncertain times!
Change is inevitable. How we react in the face of uncertainty is more important than the change itself.
We have all experienced change. We can learn from those experiences.
I have coached leaders in the midst of change.
This includes during sales and acquisitions, in the midst of massive downsizing, when their jobs changed substantially, and even while they switched companies and careers.
I have also morphed my business into more online work a few years ago when my major clients were in an economic recession and I've changed careers - from computing to Human Resources to leadership consulting.
All of the pieces of my career fit together to make a great coach:
With my MBA and experience working inside and consulting with organizations, I understand how business runs.
My Bachelor of Mathematics (including 4 years of Differential Equations!) means I think logically and communicate clearly.
Because of my many certifications including Organization and Relationship Systems Coaching™, The Systems Thinking Approach® and our Strategic Management Approach® to Planning and Change, along with my extensive training and expertise in Strategic and Systems Thinking, planning and implementation, I give you the exact tools you need to tackle the issues.
Since 2002, I have successfully coached leaders to step up to higher levels of leadership in all kinds of circumstances ... and I am the leadership coach to help you!
