    Summary:  Change does not have to be a negative experience. With the proper tools, techniques, and group processes, you can turn change into an experience that is humanistic and supportive of all that are involved. This two-day Institute introduces you to
    • Positive moods of change.
    • Processes that ensure you are making the right changes.
    • Tools that keep people in charge of the change process.
    • Techniques for supporting and monitoring the implementation of change.
