Change Essentials (Session 1 of 3)

Change Essentials is a three-part workshop designed for employees who are currently leading a change effort or expect to lead one in the near future. Based on the best-selling book Our Iceberg Is Melting: Changing and Succeeding Under Any Conditions by John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber, the program introduces participants to Dr. Kotter’s proven framework for leading successful change, including the Eight Steps for Leading Change and Four Core Change Principles. Participants will gain a foundational understanding of how people respond to change and learn practical strategies for building commitment, momentum, and successful outcomes.

Through discussion, reflection, and interactive exercises, participants will apply course concepts to a current or anticipated change within their department or as part of a broader organizational change initiative. By the end of the program, learners will be better equipped to identify opportunities and challenges in change efforts, engage stakeholders effectively, and develop actionable strategies to support and sustain lasting change. Attendance is required for all three sessions.

Attendance is required for all three sessions: Oct 8th, Oct 14th, & Oct 22nd
