You will get fast results because The Change Cycle model is a proven communication tool in assisting all levels of management and employees with perspective and specific ‘how-to’ skills for coping with the realities of change.
The sciences of physiology, physics and applied psychology provide bodies of research that explain why and how we react and respond to change. This vast knowledge base provides relevant cognitive, emotional and behavioral applications. We deciphered and translated the often confusing scientific language into six easily understood, visual stages of how humans move through change – the big and small ones.
Our training formats are designed to build immediate rapport with the learner via full color participant guides that utilize humor, stories and case studies, while teaching skill sets that are practical and can be implemented quickly.
This format includes learning to manage yourself and learning to manage others and the situation.
Managers in today's workplace do double duty when it comes to change. They are expected to champion the changes that the organization is initiating and to lead their co-workers through often stormy or confusing times. Supervisors and frontline managers have the toughest job -- they are the most important link to the potential success of any change, because it is up to them to carry the ball for the ongoing communication after the initial announcement. Successful change requires effective and consistent communication.
First Things First provides processes and skills by utilizing The Change Cycle™ as the guide for recognizing inherent land mines in the change experience. This will equip management and change agents to know how to communicate well and use the right strategy at the right time.
