Consulting Skills for Change Management Professionals™
Master the art of consulting to navigate and lead successful change initiatives
Why this program
As change consultants, we provide significant value to our clients with methodologies, tools, and techniques that increase their chances of change success. The challenge is that modern methodologies often do not equip us with the management consulting skills that we need in order to optimize organizational change. It is likely that you may have the technical skills for the change consulting role but may benefit from rounding those out with the management consulting skills you need to be as effective as you possibly can be.
This program addresses the core challenges of consulting, equipping participants with essential management consulting skills to manage tough conversations, develop deep relationships with change leaders, and ensure success in complex change environments. The focus of the program is on building excellent change management consultants – experts with the agility to address almost any situation that they encounter.
You can expect outcomes such as:
- The ability to manage and lead difficult conversations to navigate critical change moments
- A profound understanding of neuroscience in trust-building to strengthen client relationships
- Mastery of consulting, coaching, and change methodologies to guide successful initiatives
- Confidence to align organizational change with business strategy, overcoming resistance and roadblocks
- Learning from your peers about challenges that may be new to you
