  Becoming Champions of Change
  <http://www.swonlibraries.org/viewevent?id=850>

This training workshop examines the actual changes being faced in your 
work environment and the challenges that each participant is 
encountering during the transition. The focus is on how to not just 
survive the changes but also how to champion the changes, face personal 
and professional fears and anxieties and use all of the emotional energy 
to succeed. We will practice the positive skills that make change 
successful and productive and discuss how to reverse the negative 
emotional, unproductive and personal feelings of change. Finally, each 
participant will create an action plan for implementing the change 
skills back on the job.
