Leading Change: From Idea to Implementation

Every leader struggles to get stakeholders to see a new vision for the future and embrace change.  Now that you have gotten great new ideas at your National Conference and look forward to implementing these changes with your affiliate, getting buy-in to support your proposed changes can be a challenge.  This session will give participants tools to understand resistance to change, effectively present a vision for the future, and influence stakeholders to champion the change.  Participants will have the opportunity to work through their “change challenges” in exercises in the session.  All participants will leave with a range of tools and approaches that will be immediately useful in post-conference strategic planning.
