Description:

Managing Up: A Partnership Involving Expectations, Success, and Continuous Improvement for You and Your Boss

A harmonious, productive workplace relationship with your manager is one of the most important factors in your job satisfaction and success. If you work well and communicate effectively with your boss, you’re more likely to remain at your organization and sustain your success there. This highly interactive workshop can help you learn how and why.
Interacting with Change

In this half-day workshop for managers, attendees will learn: how to educate employees about change more effectively, what behaviors to model for your own staff in times of transition, and how to calm fears and encourage adoption of change.

Interacting with Change provides a lively, interactive demonstration and discussion of the issues involved in communicating and modeling change – with emphasis on the specific actions managers can take to help calm fears, create buy-in, and smooth the path through transition.

Specially trained professional actors, called Interactors℠ (professional actors with special training in interactive learning situations) present realistic workplace encounters - the kind of situations change agents face every day. Participants practice transition management skills by coaching the Interactors, experimenting with ways to improve the conversations shown. A Workplace Interactors facilitator leads discussion and clarifies the necessary behaviors. Everyone gets to see what works and what doesn’t, right on the spot.

It’s an engaging experience in which participants see their own workplace issues brought to life.

The facilitator and Interactors present and demonstrate the learning points. It’s all live, not on video.
