Managing Change by Changing Your Tune
CHANGE:
The very thought is enough to make us weak in the knees. All of us have to deal with it. Most of us dread it. Many of us fight it. And almost none of us has ever been taught to handle it, let alone embrace it. We are living in a time of unprecedented change. Understanding change and how to make the most of it will be key to both personal and professional well-being.
You Will Learn To:
- Assess your current beliefs and feelings about change and risk
- Recognize the predictable stages of change and the role they play in stress management
- Develop an awareness of your style of self-talk—the mental music you play
- Appreciate the power of perception and learn to use it effectively
- Understand the two most powerful motivators and choose those that release rather than reduce energy
- Harness the power of vision to create the changes you want
- Rewrite your mental music to get the most out of life
Client comments:
"It was a privilege to have you return for your third year and present MANAGING CHANGE BY CHANGING YOUR TUNE. A total of 957 employees attended one of the six days you presented. I know the extensive research and planning that you devoted to the development of this new program. Your concern for providing a relevant, meaningful presentation shows your commitment to excellence as a speaker. Every portion of the program was carefully scripted to demonstrate a point to give useful information for health care providers as we deal with the changes in our industry."

"Well, you did it again. Nothing but compliments. And what fun everyone had learning how to accept change and even embrace it. You are a great presenter. We know people enjoy and remember best through examples done with humor. Besides, it is a whole lot more fun. But the best was having you invite 1100 women to come on stage and dance with you, and to my great surprise, a stage full of people took you up on it."

"I want to thank you for the outstanding job you did presenting "Managing Change by Changing Your Tune" as part of our women's wellness lecture, "Understanding Life's Balancing Act: Success and Failure." Kathy, even though we have worked together on programs over the past seven years, this was my first time seeing this presentation. It was, like every other presentation I have seen you deliver, chock full of pertinent, practical advice for managing life's challenges -- and it was delivered in an hilarious, yet respectful tone. I look forward to working with you in the future as we plan additional lectures that focus on health promotion and disease prevention. You contribute more than medicine alone can provide for maintaining a healthy balance of mind, body, and spirit."

"You are more than just a speaker. You are an entertainer who makes people laugh and sets them free to dance in the aisles. You are a therapist in providing practical advice for managing life's challenging changes."
