CHANGE HAPPENS

In today’s world, we constantly experience change – in our work, our lives and our relationships. In business and organizations, the change process requires time and attention to the human issues if it is to be successful. However much can be learned, if we consider change from the personal type perspective – i.e., how we experience and adapt to change and its cousins, our individual loss and grief processes.

This course will consider change through the type lens, acknowledging the work of others e.g., William Bridges' work on Transitions, Nancy Barger's and Linda Kirby’s work on Organizational Change and Lewis Tagliaferre's and Gary Harbaugh’s work on Loss and Grief.   Participants will have the opportunity to explore their own process and look at how type can assist in supporting our own needs and others through a major change process.
