Overview:his webinar offers protocols and skillful practices that can optimize our capacity to participate with and facilitate dynamic change in the workplace. You will learn how to participate with change through the use of stories, examples, tips, guidelines, and experiential exercises. A highlight of the program is the introduction of a unique model of communication, based upon the tenets of Aikido, which, with its supporting principles, can serve as a "map" to help you navigate the difficult terrain of dynamic change.Why should you attend: Traditional peoples over the millennia have grown accustomed to dynamic change as the norm - being so closely tied and exposed to the unpredictability of Nature and its mysteries. As such, over the centuries some cultures have developed protocols and skillful practices that when facing dynamic change has allowed them to survive, some to thrive - preserving their culture and their heritage. An example of one such culture is the Moken, the sea gypsies of the Andaman Sea, who have lived for hundreds of years on the islands off the coast of Thailand and Burma. They have recited the legend of "the Seven Waves" from generation to generation around their campfires, which describes what to do when seawater acts "strangely," when it recedes from the shore in an unnatural fashion, when a tsunami is on its way. "Head for the hills," the story advises. When the deadly tsunami of 2004 hit their island, the Moken people, having seen the signs, climbed to higher ground, and were saved, untouched by the tsunami's devastation.Areas Covered in the Session:Why we generally view dynamic change as a negative - as something to fear - and how to transform our perspective into one that optimizes our potential as professionalsHow to find the courage to "keep our faces towards change," especially when we have lost heart and our resistance stifles our ability to move forwardTo increase our ability to accept dynamic change on its own terms and ways to become more respectful of other's and our own experience with changeWho Will Benefit:Senior Management TeamDirectors and AdministratorsSupervisorsEmployment ManagersTraining DirectorHuman Resources staffGeneral Managers and CEO'sTeam LeadersTeam MembersInstructor:Robert Elliott has worked with individuals and groups throughout North America, Asia, Micronesia and Europe as a speaker, corporate educator and leadership coach.
