This one-day course equips leaders and managers with the practical tools and psychological insights needed to lead change effectively. Participants will explore essential models, understand human reactions to transition, and learn how to embed sustainable change within their teams.
Are you leading change or just reacting to it?
This one-day Managing Change course gives leaders the practical tools to guide their teams through transition with confidence. You’ll learn how to spot resistance early, apply proven models like Lewin and Kotter in real situations, and build buy-in that lasts.
By the end, you’ll be able to define the business need for change, analyse stakeholder impact, and communicate with clarity and empathy — turning uncertainty into momentum.
It’s available as an open course, closed group session, or one-to-one coaching, and counts toward six CPD hours.
