About this Event
Overview

This practical, one-day workshop empowers managers to positively embrace and enable change in the workplace. To move them from overwhelmed to organised; from reactive to resilient; from change-affected to change-enabling. We’ll blend the mindset, tools, and leadership behaviours needed to support teams through uncertainty.

Whether your business is scaling, restructuring, digitising or simply evolving, it equips managers to become confident communicators, resilient leaders, and proactive enablers of change.

Who It’s For
  • SME Business owners, managers, team leaders, and supervisors
  • Operational managers leading through growth, restructure, or transformation
  • SMEs who need managers to lead people, not just manage work
Learning Objectives

By the end of this workshop, participants will:

  • Understand the emotional impact of change on individuals and teams
  • Recognise the manager’s role as communicator, sense-maker and stabiliser
  • Gain practical frameworks to map stakeholders and lead conversations
  • Develop confidence in navigating resistance and uncertainty
  • Build an action plan to lead through their next real-world change
