ChangeWorks® Essentials

 

“ChangeWorks® Essentials” Training Program —

It all begins here!

“ChangeWorks® Essentials” is a concentrated series of four 90-minute webinars. These webinars are intended to provide you with a thorough understanding of Tension Management® and the key concepts, skills, tools and techniques of the ChangeWorks® Change Management System. Upon completion, you are fully equipped to integrate the principles of Tension Management® in to your client work — and to design, administer and interpret Personal and Individual ChangeWorks® Profiles.

If you’re a member of the International Coach Federation, completion of this course also earns you 6 CCEUs for Resource Development.

“ChangeWorks® Essentials” Program Outline —

Session 1: The Nature of Change

This session lays out the core principles on which the science of tension management is based and gets to the real truth about humanity’s apparent resistance to change.

Session 2: Defining Activities

The secret to a powerful ChangeWorks® experience is a well-developed list of mission-critical activities. In this session, candidates learn how to craft customized activity lists and put them to immediate use with their actual clients.

Session 3: Understanding Productive Tension

Understanding what the ChangeGrid® reveals about productive tension and sharing those insights with your client is the focus this week. You will explore the 5 “Response States” layer of the ChangeGrid® and practice debriefing ChangeGrids® using a quick reference guide.

Session 4: Understanding Activity-Specific Primary & Secondary Energies

This session focuses on the 16 different “Energies” a client may experience about a given activity — and how to incorporate those insights into a ChangeGrid® reading. You will also be introduced to the Comprehensive Adjective Map and practice using the map to better understand how your client is responding to each of the activities on their ChangeGrid®.

Session 5: Understanding Engagement at the Activity-Specific Level

The “Engagement Rings” layer of the ChangeGrid® helps predict the likelihood that the client will actually follow through and DO what needs to be done.

Session 6: Establishing Desired Situations

While it’s very valuable to help a client understand their current situation, the change process is dramatically enhanced when a desired situation is explored and defined as well.  During this session, participants learn how to help their client get clarity about what they want most.

Session 7: Developing Action Plans

Based on the information the ChangeGrid® reveals, your next task is to develop customized action plans for assisting your clients in achieving the results they want most. This week equips you with a comprehensive set of “ChangeGrid® Maneuvers” designed to give your clients the perfect combination of support and guidance to get them on track and keep them on track for reaching their goals.

Session 8: Integrating the ChangeGrid® into your Practice

This session helps you easily and effectively incorporate the concepts of tension management and the ChangeGrid® itself into your research, marketing, sales, needs assessment, scope development and performance tracking efforts.
