Art of Navigating Change Online

What do you do when you’re faced with problems that don’t have simple or obvious solutions?

This is a question leaders have wrestled with long before this moment. That’s why Rockwood created the Art of Navigating Change, a new 2-day virtual training that will allow you to discover how to exercise leadership through change and complexity.

You’ll bring a real problem you’re facing in your life or work, and explore how your current approaches to problem-solving may act as barriers to getting the results you seek. You’ll also learn tools and practices that will help you handle any type of challenge in the future, all while in a supportive, caring community of your peers.

Over 2 days, you will:

• Develop a better understanding of what knocks you off-center and how to call in your better brain in order to address the situation
• Learn to work with frameworks and tools for leading change in complex situations that require more than a quick fix
• Develop a capacity for greater resilience and purpose for dealing with difficult situations and uncertainty

Training Details

Whatever type of problem you’re facing, this workshop will give you the space to address it while also growing your personal leadership and effectiveness. Building off of Rockwood’s 6 Core Practices and focused on real problems leaders are facing today, this training will help you see that how you do things is often as important as what you do. You’ll be better able to distinguish the different types of problems in your life and work, and you’ll leave with a comprehensive change model that can help you navigate them in the future.

Utilizing an engaging format with energetic pacing tailored for a virtual setting, this training will include short teaching segments interspersed with personal reflection, small group work, experiential exercises, guided meditation, and energizers for differently-abled bodies. There will also be appropriate breaks to give you time away from your screen.
