Change: Turning Uncertainty into Opportunity

Spring 2024 Opportunities

Change happens all the time, whether we choose it, or it chooses us. Changes in leadership, priorities, structures and processes, like those that we have seen at UMBC, can be challenging, each initiating a transition that requires us to look beneath processes to understand the human side of change. In the end, it's our people who will make change happen and we need the right combination of knowledge, skills, and strategies, as well as a common language to understand, cope with, and adapt to change. 

Introducing the FranklinCovey Change: How to Turn Uncertainty into Opportunity Program. This engaging learning experience will provide practical skills and strategies to help us understand and manage our reactions, learn how to navigate change both functionally and emotionally, and will introduce a model that makes the change process predictable. Modules are included for different populations, both individual contributors as well as managers and leaders who need to proactively lead and support their people.
 
There are three options for programming: 
  • 3-Part Program for Managers & Leaders (6 hr. overall program)
  • Change Conversations - For Individual Contributors & Leaders (2 hr. programs)
  • Change Book Discussion (1 hr./week, 5 weeks)
