© Pauline Enright Radiance Hobart Counselling & Self-Development Optimising your emotional & mental wellbeing 2016 Navigating Change ‘To live in fear is a life half-lived’ (Strictly Ballroom) Change is part of modern life. We often hear that phrase. And of course, it is true. But what we should also realise is that change is a natural part of life at any time at all. From one moment to the next, everything and everyone is changing. It is the way of all existing things and people. Yet change can frighten us and take us out of our comfort zone. Workplaces Workplaces today have been subject to massive changes over the last 30 or so years. The rise of technology has brought with it changes on both local and global levels. New skills have had to be learnt, and old skills have become redundant. People who have been doing the same jobs for years find their services and expertise are no longer needed. Globalisation has resulted in the closing down of many manufacturing enterprises in Australia and other parts of the world. Staff are more mobile than ever before. Holding down the same job for life is no longer the norm. Private Life Private life and relationships have changed as gender roles and family structures have been re-defined. Changes occur throughout life as we negotiate the milestones, birth, death marriage and all that’s in between – children leaving home, menopause, old age and more. We are all subject to life’s changes, both at home and at work. Some changes affect us more than others. Those that take us by surprise or that we don’t like can be hard to deal with. We can feel disoriented and threatened. Understanding the nature of change will help you avoid its potential negative affects. You will be better manage change, so that you emerge more confident and positive than you might have done otherwise. The Workshop Navigating Change is delivered in a 3-hour workshop, which explains the nature of change, what to expect when change occurs and how to see it through. You will learn about and discuss: ♦ The nature of change ♦ The various stages of change ♦ How to move smoothly through change ♦ The ‘new beginnings’ that follow change The workshop is suitable for anyone who wants to better understand and manage change, both in the workplace and in private life. If you want to improve your skills to cope with change, Navigating Change is the course for you. Get in touch if you’re interested.
