Overview

Understand your response to change and learn practical ways to manage uncertainty, clarify priorities and ask for the support you need.

Changes to a team, role or workload can take time to adjust to, particularly when you are supporting other people as well as managing your own response. This session will help you understand that adjustment and work out what would make the situation more manageable.

We’ll explore the difference between an organisational change and the personal transition that follows it, including why people can respond differently to the same announcement. You’ll learn how to recognise your own reactions and distinguish the information you have from the assumptions you may be making.

Using the circles of concern, influence and control, alongside the C&C Circle of Clarity, we’ll look at where you can take useful action. We’ll also work on how to raise concerns about workload, clarify changing responsibilities and ask for support when expectations are unclear.

There will be time to apply these ideas to a change you are currently experiencing and prepare a practical conversation about what needs to happen next.

What you will learn

· Understand the difference between a change in circumstances and the time people may need to adjust to it.

· Notice your response to uncertainty and use a pause to consider what needs your attention before reacting.

· Distinguish what you can control or influence from matters that need information or a decision from someone else.

· Prepare a clear request about workload, priorities or support, and identify an achievable next step.

Who this session is for

Anyone experiencing a restructure, a changing team or new responsibilities, as well as managers, EAs and HR professionals supporting colleagues through change.

You will leave with a simple plan for a change you are facing, including the information you need, the actions within your influence and the conversation that would help you move forward.
