Change Mindset Lab

The Lab is a half-day workshop that equips participants with the ability to recognise where resistance to change comes from and how they can learn to look at change in a more positive manner and build a resilient change mindset.

We achieve this through self reflection, group reflection, and working through tools and strategies to develop a resilient change mindset.

How to change our propensity to focus on the negative

Using the Strategy Box to think more positively about change

Continual development of resilience based on Martin Seligman’s 'Learned Optimism'
