Understanding Change

Presented by Chato Hazelbaker, Clark College Chief Information and Communication Officer

Every day we face change. Whether it is our children growing up, new job responsibilities, new neighbors, or even just the closing of a favorite restaurant, we all have to deal with change.  While there is a lot of talk about changes, many individuals never take the time to explore their own feelings and strategies to successfully navigate change.

Using a framework based in research, this workshop will explore the general process of change, how it happens and how we handle it, and provide some effective strategies for dealing with change on a personal level.

Leading Change
