"Even though his experiences are extraordinary, it was easy for the audience to relate to him. Nothing was a problem for Jamie and that matched how we do things" [Conference MC]Keynote: "Getting people on the bus - or under it!"
Embracing change in an era where there’s no alternative. When it comes to change (or dealing with tough times), people often feel like it’s being done ‘to them’. Understanding how people accept change, and the possible responses, could determine if you’ll even achieve what you wanted to in the first place. Let’s talk about how this interactive session will help your people become more comfortable with understanding their own behaviour, and how to work with others.
