Who Rocked the Boat? Lead Human Reactions to Change

We interviewed FranklinCovey executive, change expert and author Curtis Bateman on his 25+ years’ experience helping organisations turn uncertainty into individual and collective opportunity.

Time and time again, we can’t escape the fact that we as people are wired to react to change to survive. Even comparatively positive changes can trigger mixed responses, making any options for charting a course forward feel risky, divisive or limited at best. Skilled change leaders are able to harness the discomfort their direct reports are feeling and prime them to surprise themselves, helping them prepare, persist, and gain a new perspective.

Drawing on first-hand expertise, Curtis demystifies disruption by sharing the predictable pattern behind all change which helps you get employees on board, reach desired results faster and foster meaningful growth along the way.

Shift happens. Are you and your team equipped to not simply deal with this uncertainty, but optimise it?

A series of informal, 30 minute webinars picking the brains of seasoned industry leaders to offer you real-life stories and ready-now advice.

  1. A Leader’s Dilemma: Explore the most common human reactions to change and understand what impacts them.

  2. Change Isn’t a Mystery: Discover the predictable pattern behind all change and why leveraging it makes navigating change easier, but not necessarily easy.

  3. It’s About People First: Clarify what it takes to lead people instead of manage a process and reflect on the role leadership plays in fostering confidence, persistence and growth
