About the conversation:
Putting Your People at the Centre of Your Change
People are your change
Most people focus on the “thing” that is changing putting time and effort into ensuring the new system, process or idea is the best it can possibly be. But equal focus needs to be on the people who are going to make the change a reality. You could create the best solution in the world, but if you don’t bring your people on the journey, it will stay sat on the shelf.
Be clear on the destination and your why
Why you are changing is absolutely critical to understand. You cannot control the journey, but you can have some influence on the outcome.
Change is a journey not a destination
helping you bring people along on the journey of change. The art of asking the right questions with appropriate feedback loops, active listening and making decisions based on these important conversations.
Leading the change
I’ll run through the importance of being a visible leader of the change, you have to walk the walk as well as talk the talk to make the most impact. As a leader you have to showcase that the change is important to you and the business and you will create the space, resources and support to make that change a reality.
There are two key ways this will help you
You will experience change in your personal and professional life. You will need to help yourself and others navigate it. This session will provide top tips to help you navigate your change more effectively.
Small business owners like you may be trying to carve out a space in a competitive market. Offering something new comes with the challenges of changing someone else’s mindset to be open to something new.
This session applies just as much to changing your customers viewpoints as it does to your team.
