Description:
Join us for a dynamic book discussion on Switch: How to Change Things When Change Is Hard!
Change isn’t just about strategy—it’s about emotion!
In our second session of the Switch book discussion, we’ll dive into how to motivate the Elephant—the emotional side of change. Learn how to shrink the change, create a sense of identity, and generate momentum to overcome resistance.
We’ll explore real-world case studies and discuss how project managers and change leaders can make change feel doable rather than overwhelming.
Don’t miss this opportunity for a collaborative discussion from PMI and ACMP perspectives on leading change successfully!
