Presentation:

"Making the Most of Change: William Bridges' Transition Model"

We often hear people say "people resist change." What they really resist is transition - the internal, psychological reorientation that everyone goes through in coming to terms with a major change.

Come to this session to learn about the three predictable phases that make up The Three-Phase Transition Model developed by William Bridges, internationally known author of Managing Transitions and pioneer and leader in the field of transition management. Explore a framework that puts the often "messy" emotional terrain encountered during change into a new and more hopeful perspective. Understand how managers and individual contributors can successfully embrace change to realize business goals. Leave with a renewed appreciation for human resilience and the potential that lies within each deep change.
