Change Management

An estimated 70% of organizational change efforts fail to reach their goals. Researchers list reasons why, and most are people factors. How do you get a group of individuals to enthusiastically support change? This course teaches you how to make that happen.

This course avoids the common pitfalls of change management by focusing on the people side of change. The course presents and explains The HST Model for Change, where:

          1. The change makes emotional and logical sense to all the people involved in the change from the beginning to the end of the change process

          2. The change is through high-performing teams led by trained change leaders

In this course you will learn all you need to know for successful change.

          · Be able to create engagement in change even before change is considered

          · Know and be able to use the most powerful tool in the change management arsenal

          · Greatly minimize resistance and know what to do if it appears

          · Avoid common mistakes and misconceptions, like the popular yet erroneous "change curve"

          · And much more

“HST” stands for “Harnessing the Speed of Thought.” This model initiates the change process where it actually begins, in the human brain, then expands outwards through teams and leaders to move the entire organization forward. By beginning with the latest findings in neuroscience, this new model creates a direct path from an idea, to discussions, to decisions, to implementing change and then to sustaining change. It works by supporting critical people needs first, which then support business needs.

What makes this course different? As an expert in human behavior, I help business leaders and employees interact with each other and with customers in the most productive ways, mostly using tools I have created over the past 50 years. Other change models focus on the business change and then help people accept and adjust. This model emphasizes emotions. The focus is on logic and emotions in every step of change. When logic and emotions are included, everything works better. By the end of this course, you will be able to successfully plan and lead just about any change effort.  

I created the HST Model for Change while teaching change management workshops. I realized that what I was teaching (the most popular change models) lacked important elements that made them almost impossible to implement without undue stress and workarounds. The HST Model can enhance models you currently use (such as Kotter or ADKAR), or as an effective stand-alone process. Either way, you will manage change in your organization with a greater chance of success.

The HST Model will be a strong tool in your change management tool kit.

Rock Solid Business Soft Skills

My set of LEADERSHIP SKILLS courses is ideal if you want to significantly improve your soft skills as a leader, manager or employee. Each course presents a specific topic; you’ll dive deeply into the content and emerge with newly acquired ideas and rock-solid soft skills.

Business is a balancing act of controlling and enabling others. As a leader/manager, you must be in charge, but also encourage the best from every worker. As you know, this isn’t easy. Make a mistake or two and everyone suffers. Rock solid skills have clear steps, easily followed and measured. And if you aspire to leadership, these skills will propel you upward.

If you want both training and an education, this is the place, tools and ideas. Each course provides ideas to explore and skills to try out. You choose the topic and in about three hours or less, you’ll acquire rock solid soft skills enabling you to support and inspire your employees.
