You’ll learn how to:

• Look for disconfirming evidence

Navigating Change and Transitions
June 28, 10 a.m. – 12 p.m. (PT)
“The only thing that is constant is change” — Heraclitus who lived 100 years before Plato knew this, and it is still true in today’s world. This workshop will explore the human response to change and stages within the transition process. Participants will expand their capability to successfully navigate through personal and professional changes while utilizing the William Bridges’ Transition Model and Psychological Flexibility framework.
