YEG Bossbabes is excited to bring you the first offering in the Back to Business Series: Taking Charge of Change. We are partnering with Kristen Edmiston of KEA Consulting to bring you a series that will allow you to level up your skills as a business owner and leader as well as connect with other incredible women in our city.
The 4-week session runs from October 14th to November 4th from 7:00PM-9:00PM virtually!
Change truly is the only constant in our lives and this is especially true in the small business world. Yet the science of ‘change management’ is the most under-estimated and under-utilized theory in our toolkits. Think about it… as business owners we need know the ins and outs of bookkeeping, social media, communication etiquette, technology basics (and on and on…) and yet on average – how much time do we spend thinking about (or learning about) the ins and outs of change? How often do we even proactively think about change (don’t we usually find ourselves reacting to it instead)??
This 4-week program will explore ‘change’ from a number of different angles.
Topics will include:
Change management theory basics;
The science of change adoption and resistance + relevant lessons from ‘positive psychology’;
Types of change (from quality improvement to transformation and more);
What it means and how to flex, pivot, reinvent, or quit (hint* - quitting doesn’t necessarily equate failure or giving up);
How change often requires elements of letting go, grieving, learning, growing, and moving on;
Tools and practices for anticipating, planning and preparing for change; and,
Change resiliency and how to leverage the ‘bounce back’.
In this Program, participants will be led on a journey of reflection, validation, visioning, and alignment. There will be key learnings about business fundamentals, tangible tools and strategies for getting more clarity and focus, motivational elements, and a supportive group environment that will serve as a safe, encouraging space for us all.
The sessions run Wednesdays, October 14, 21, 28, and November 4th. We are offering an evening, online series, running for 4 consecutive Wednesday's from 7 - 9 pm, hosted on Zoom.
