E327 : Change Management: What to Expect and Mistakes to Avoid

You’ve been brought in to be the difference maker.  You’ve done the market research and have even done some background on your new team, you’re ready to hit the ground running!  BUT, it turns out not everyone is excited about the new direction, and no matter what you do you cannot gain momentum.  Failure to launch. 

Making change is hard.  We’ve all read leadership books that lay out the necessary steps to build the ultimate team and business, but we know better.  It’s never what you expect it to be.  In today’s episode we are joined by Art Of Coaching Facilitator Bekah Gold where she shares with us some invaluable lessons learned from her professional journey and keeps it real on what it takes to change workplace culture.

In this episode we discuss:

• What to do when you’re met with resistance and apathy when trying to initiate change
• The importance of assessing yourself and how others perceive you
• How to discern the drives of others and the vital role it plays in connecting with them
• Why setting expectations is so critical and how to refocus if the’re misaligned

You can find Bekah on instagram at @coach_bgold where she posts regularly on topics pertaining to change management, leadership development, and getting out of your comfort zone.  You can catch Bekah at one of our live events, book her for an inservice with your team, or arrange a time to meet virtually for one-on-one mentorship.  Reach out if you have any questions  at info@artofcoaching.com!
