You arrive at work one day only to learn of a major change.
Surprise ripples through you. You're shocked and feel resistance. What do you do?
A major change in our work life can throw us off balance. Give us the sweats. Rev up our pulse and throttle up our thinking to merry-go-round speed.
We thrash around for a way out. Anything to avoid facing up to and making a change we need to confront. We go magical like a child and wish with all our might that the change would disappear. Often, change happens just when we’re getting ready to do something else. And all we can do is cry out, “Why me?!”
Sometimes, we can control change. Often, circumstances beyond our control converge in the middle of our lives. Our stable sameness goes out the window. And we find ourselves in a confused whirl wind of change. The risks frighten us. We dig in and brace for change instead of facing it squarely.
But as someone once said, the way out of change is often through. And HOW TO MANAGE CHANGE…AND MASTER THE CHANGE PROCESS, by Dr. Joanne G. Sujansky, CSP (Certified Speaking Professional), can help you master whatever change you’re up against instead of getting fractured by it. She is the Founder and CEO of KEYGroup and a renowned expert on change in the workplace can help you change effectively.

Everyone reacts to change differently. That’s why Dr. Sujansky helps you dope out what’s important for you in the context of change. That means knowing why you may need to change. Getting clear about the two types of change you’re likely to face. Taking a serious look at your control issues and the choices you have when confronting change.
One thing is certain: The same ‘ol, same ‘ol does not work when it comes to negotiating change. How you responded to the last change in your workplace may not work this time around. This time, you’re better off getting creative about the change you’re facing.
To help you, HOW TO MANAGE CHANGE…AND MASTER THE CHANGE PROCESS shows you new ways to cope positively and proactively with change. Two of the ideas are doing a brainstorm of one and completing a Force Field Analysis:

And that’s not all. When change happens, your best bet is to get your thinking out of your head and onto paper. This objectifies and clarifies your thinking, Dr. Sujansky sets out easy-to-follow formats to assist you with this.
There’s more. Because your attitude toward change counts for a lot, Dr. Sujansky shares her secrets about the four, basic attitudes that make or break successful change, and what you can do about them, including:
-
The “Can and Will” Attitude
-
The Can and Won't Attitude
-
The Can't and Will Attitude
-
The Can't and Won't Attitude
As you might imagine, people with the can and will attitude negotiate change in their lives with the greatest success. But whether you have a Can and Will Attitude or not, Dr. Sujansky provides you the twelve characteristics of the Can and Will attitude, and gives you with a step-by-step tool to improve your response to change and master workplace changes.
Get a Buddy System Going

-
Sharing a Vision -- developing a clear picture of what, collectively, you want to have happen.
