This mastering change management course will help you to manage change in your organizations more effectively, and in particular when it comes to managing the people side of change who are called change recipients.If you are a change manager, project manager, employees (change agents), or people manager, this course on mastering conversations for change management is for you. It will enable you to explore and develop conversations to respond to concerns raised by change recipients. This will help you to manage the expectations of others during organizational change and get their buy-in.Why mastering conversations matters during organizational change?There is a common saying which is ‘change is exciting when it is done by us, threatening when it is done to us’. So, managing change requires us to see things from the perspective of those who receive it.I designed this course to help you address various and most common concerns raised by change recipients through 10 conversations during the three phases of organizational change.After every section, there are 4 quizzes to test what you learn. Also, there are 3 activities representing scenarios of change managers and recipients to reflect on what is learned after every section.

Finally, you will see 2 optional assessments with 20 questions each to test your knowledge.
