With just a handful of key concepts, Changemakers can enable change in an organization in a way that protects business interests, empowers people, and simplifies the process. Join us in this session to learn more.
Changemakers are the individuals who put the good of the organization first, make authentic human connection, and consistently treat change as a process, not an event. They make things happen.

This jam packed and engaging session will give you the tools and techniques for a better way…
For change
To get more done
To bring people along
By attending this course, participants will:
Gain tools to help you improve your influence
Encounter a simple, easy-to-apply model for talking about one of the most disruptive forces at work
Enable you to identify and empower changemakers around you
