Change Management

Change Management: Change and How to Deal with It


This one-day workshop will help you teach participants how to:
- Accept there are no normal or abnormal ways of reacting to change, but that we must start
from where we are.
- See change not as something to be feared and resisted but as an essential element of the
world to be accepted.
- Understand that adapting to change is not technical but attitudinal. Change is not an
intellectual issue but one that strikes at who you are.
- Recognize that before we can embrace the way things will be, we must go through a process
of grieving, and of letting go of the way things used to be.
- See change as an opportunity for self-motivation and innovation.
- Identify strategies for helping change be accepted and implemented in the workplace.
Introduction and Course Overview
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place

objectives.

Stress Management

Stress Management
Overview:

This one-day workshop will explore the harmful long-term effects of stress on our mental and

physical health and provide suggestions for managing our individual stresses more effectively.

Strategies may include changes in lifestyle, stress management techniques such as relaxation

and exercise, and the use of music or humour as coping strategies.

Learning Objectives:

Recognize that stress is a positive, unavoidable part of everybody's life.


Identify the symptoms of chronic stress overload.
Identify how lifestyle choices can contribute to stress and how we can work toward making different
choices.
Develop some techniques to help manage stress right now
Begin planning long-term protection against the cumulative affects of stress.

Workshop Outline and Methodology:


Facilitators use a variety of training methods for each workshop, including large group discussions,
individual work and reflection, small group discussions and exercises, case studies and simulations
for role play. Videos that are applicable will form a part of some workshops.
Customization will be based on information provided by the human resource department or the
individual department prior to the workshop. These will be interactive workshops with a 40/60 split
between concept/theory and practical application of skills discussed. Class size should be kept under
20, whenever possible, so each participant will have the opportunity to gain techniques for the types
of situations they deal with or expect to deal with.
Introduction, Learning Objectives and Agenda:
The workshop begins with individual introductions and a group exercise to put everybody at ease.
This is followed by a large group discussion about the effects of stress and why we need to give more
than lip service to developing strategies for managing that stress. (3/4 hour)
How Does Stress Affect Us?
A large group discussion complete with diagrams to illustrate what stress does to our bodies and our
minds if it is allowed to go unchecked. (1/2 hour)
What is Stress About?
Individuals rate themselves and their stress levels on each of several types of charts or scales, with the
understanding that there is no reward for proving that you are more stressed out than others. The only
reward is getting a handle on the amount of stress we do feel. (1/2 hour)
Checklist of Stress Symptoms
Holmes Rahe Stress Rating
Hanson Scale of Stress Resistance
The Human Scale
Stress Exhaustion Symptoms
Burnout Test
Stress and Time:

Large group discussion about the three factors of stress management: Personality, Nature of
Organization, and Quality of Support. ( hour)
Stress and Gender:
Large group discussion of some of the research that has been done about stress, and how age, gender,
and attitude, and occupation figure into our reactions to stress. ( hour)
Taking Care of Your Body and Mind:
Group discussion of the four pillars of stress management: good nutrition, exercise, strong supportive
relationships, and relaxation techniques. (1/2 hour)

Time Management

Time Management: Get Organized for Peak Performance


Time is money, the adage goes, and lots of it gets lost in disorganization and disruption. This one-day
workshop helps you organize and prioritize for greater workplace efficiency. Youll learn to get a grip
on your office space, organize your work flow, learn how use your planner effectively, say no without
guilt, and delegate some of your work to other people. This workshop is full of ideas for organizing
your work area and your paperwork and working on the right things.
During this one-day workshop, you will teach participants to:
Organize yourself and your workspace for peak efficiency.
Describe the importance of and the most useful techniques for setting and achieving goals.
Identify the right things to be doing and develop plans for doing them.
List and explain what to delegate and how to delegate well.
Organize things that would derail workplace productivity.
Introduction and Course Overview
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place
during the workshop. Students will also have an opportunity to identify their personal learning
objectives.
Left Brain/Right Brain
This part talks about left and right brain people and determining which type is predominantly used and
then trying to incorporate ideas from both types.
Setting Goals
Before you can develop plans, you have to know what you want to accomplishyour goals or targets
how you want to accomplish those goals or targets, what resources of time, money and materials
you have, and who will carry out the implementation. Most of us cant hit a target if we cant see it. So
set some targets for yourself, targets that you can see.and well start the journey to reaching them.
Planning Tools
During this session, the participant will elicit different planning tools and guidelines through which they
can have a better use of these planning tools.

The Four Ds

Under this session the participants will be able to prioritize their work using the 4 Ds method

The Clock and the Compass


This session talks about the relation between the clock and the compass. The clock represents what
we do with the time, and how do we manage our time and the compass represents our long term
goals and how we lead our lives. Say the clock represents urgency while the compass represents
importance.
Urgent/Important Model
This model distinguishes all our activities in four classifications. The Matrix tells us the way in which
we tend to spend our time and also what should we be concentrating upon.
Managing Your Time
In this session participants will work out a 168 hour plan for the last week and for the coming week.
Waste Reducers/ Activity expanders
Waste Reducers are habits that one would like to discard. Activity Expanders are habits that one
would like to acquire.
Delegation
In The Creative Edge, author William C. Miller defines five levels of delegation:
Tell, sell, consult, participate, delegate
Projects
According to Tom Peters, all work is made up of projects. Projects have a start time and an end time.
Projects require "interdependencies." Projects must be completed with limited resources. People who
work on it often must report to someone else. Projects should have clearly stated goals.
Set a Ritual
Routines simplify, clarify, and create order, symmetry, and familiarity in chaos and high stress. Rituals
are the foundation of success. Be dull in your everyday routine so you can be wildly creative where it
counts.

- Grow in the conviction that they are competent and worthy of happiness
- Make a positive first impression
- Turn negative thoughts into positive thoughts
- Make requests so that you get what you want
- Find ways of connecting with people
Introduction and Course Overview
You will spend the first part of the day getting to know participants and discussing what will take place

objectives.
Anxiety Inventory
As a pre-assignment, participants were asked to complete an anxiety inventory. We will discuss the
test in general during this session.
Building Your Self-Esteem
During this session, you will lead a discussion around two key questions: Just what does self-esteem
mean? What are some of the things that affect our self-esteem?
Impressions
During this session, participants will brainstorm things that create a positive impression and a
negative impression. Participants will also identify an action item to change in the next 21 days.
Fake it til You Make It
Sometimes we must put on a brave front even if we dont feel like it. During this session we will
discuss just how to do this and when it is appropriate.
Increasing Our Self-Esteem
So far we have looked at external things that affect a persons self-esteem. Now we will focus on the
internal factors; the things that we think about ourselves.

Self Confidence
During this session, we will discuss seven easy ways to increase your confidence.
The Power of Thoughts
Through personal exercises, small presentations, and a case study, participants will explore how
thoughts can impact a persons self esteem.

Wipe Out Worry


Everyone worries, but too much worrying can be bad for your health. We will discuss four techniques
that participants can use to manage worrying.
Ask for What You Want
Asking for something can be hard, especially if you dont feel confident. This session will discuss four
ways to successfully ask for what you want. Participants will then apply the knowledge to a case
study.
Communication
The way we view the world, or the windows through which we see the world, can either help or hinder
our communication with others. During this session, participants will identify their windows. Then,
through large group discussion, they will identify whether those windows are a positive or negative
influence.
Connecting with People
Dale Carnegie, the author of How to Win Friends and Influence People, gave us several important
principles to consider and to incorporate into our lives to help us better connect with our fellow
humans. We will discuss seven of his principles in this session.
Behavior Cost-Benefit Analysis
To sum up what participants have learned, they will be asked to take a look at the behaviors they
want
to
change
and
the
possible
costs
and
benefits
of
those
changes.

Telemarketing

Telemarketing: Using the Telephone as a Sales Tool


We never stop learning how to improve our selling skills. Virtually everybody in sales today sells over
the phone at least part of the time. Perhaps it is time for you to evaluate how you use the telephone
and where it fits into your sales and marketing mix. The telephone can supplement, enhance, and
sometimes replace other means of marketing and selling. This personal approach can dramatically
increase your sales success.
This one-day workshop will help you hone your communication skills, your ability to persuade, and
your ability to personalize each sales call to the person and to each situation.
