President, MANY-TO-ONE

We live in times of unprecedented change. Sounds cliché, right? But anyone who leads teams knows it is absolutely true. How do we create the conditions for our teams to embrace change, when their brains (and ours) are wired to see discontinuities as a threat? How do we build a coalition that will drive the change without us feeling like we’re pushing a rock uphill? In this two-hour live virtual session, we will learn a step-by-step framework for breaking through inertia, generating “pull”, and creating self-sustaining momentum toward a desired change. At the conclusion of the session, participants will learn about an intensive technical assistance change management initiative available through the Pacific Southwest ATTC.

Who should attend?

Team Leads, Clinical Supervisors, Program/Site Managers, Quality Management/Quality Improvement Specialists, and all other Behavioral Health Specialists/Clinicians
