YBB Connect is excited to bring back "Taking Charge of Change". In partnership with Kristen Edmiston this 4 session series will run 2 nights a week on Mondays & Wednesdays, for 2 weeks starting on June 21st 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 program will explore ‘change’ from a number of different angles.

Topics will include:

July 21, Session 1: Change management theory basics; the types of change that we typically encounter in our businesses/careers, how we process change with both our heads and hearts, and we’ll also share our stories about how change (good and bad) have impacted us.

July 23, Session 2: Will be a deep dive into how to navigate unexpected change that impacts our businesses and/or careers

July 28, Session 3: Will be a deep dive into how to navigate planned change (things like growth, team expansions, pivots, quality improvement etc.)

July 30, Session 4: Will cover off change resiliency and mindset for successful change management

Workshop includes a full course workbook with tools, templates, supplemental information/links and self-reflection exercises (Downloadable PDF) and an opportunity for 1:1 Q + A with Kristen about your own change challenges/change management planning.

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.

Testimonials:

"Taking Charge of Change was an incredible workshop that gave me so many tools that are USEFUL in my business now! I feel like I was able to level up as a business owner with this workshop."

"YBB along with Kristen Edmiston offered an incredible workshop, Taking Charge of Change. Both practical and inspirational, this course is designed for entrepreneurs and small-business owners to gain tools, knowledge, and support around the dynamics of change. It was an engaging and content rich workshop that is made for anyone who is experiencing change - AKA you!"

"I am so thankful to YBB and Kristen Edmiston of KEA Consulting for offering this program. If 2020 has shown us anything, it's that an understanding of change management theory is crucial for small business owners. As if Kristen's expertise and personal stories weren't enough, she also constantly engaged the group, ensuring interactive discussion with and between the attendees at each session. The best part is that although this program took place during a significant time of change for everyone, the content is evergreen and can be referenced for any change to come, no matter how big or small, personal or professional. I know I'll be looking back at my workbook any time I face a change in my business!"
