Change is good, but it's not always easy.  When an organization transforms the way it does business, there is a rollercoaster of emotions and reactions - and not many smiley face emojis. Even when the change is needed, the transition can be difficult, frustrating and even immobilizing if it isn't handled properly.  As an HR practitioner, how do you encourage the C-suite to focus on the human experience of change, rather than just the financial implications?  How do you lead your organization - and your people - forward confidently and assertively all while keeping morale high along the way?  Learn tactical coaching tips and insights on how to navigate the four stages of change to shape a culture of openness and acceptance.
