Building Resilience as Learning Professionals

Location Details:

Exit from Union station. The building is at York and Bremner (south of Union) at Maple Leaf Square.

There is ample parking in the area (underground 15 York, across the street in the Telus building, etc.)

To accommodate people with allergies to perfume the CCCE asks that attendees arrive scent-free for monthly meetings. 

Event Description:

Most of us are faced with the reality of having to produce more at a faster pace, with increased complexity and uncertainty. To get people on board with proposed changes, learning professionals need to guide colleagues from their current state to the desired future – and guess what, people get “stuck”! 

Participants will leave with practical insights, tools and techniques to lead people through change, support their team’s ability to adapt to change – and just as importantly get ‘unstuck’ when they may get stuck.

Learning Objectives

In this interactive, thought-provoking session, participants will learn ways to break out of status quo change management thinking and discover people-centric approaches that actually work. By the end of the workshop participants will be able to:

• Explore how brain science impacts our ability to lead, manage and adapt to change

• Discuss techniques to get yourself and other ‘unstuck’ during change at work.

• Explore change and resilience strategies to optimize engagement and build commitment.
