Course Description
Charles Darwin said, "It's not the strongest of the species that survive, nor the most intelligent, but the most responsive to change." Transitions are part of the human experience but are often difficult. In order to cope with change, many of us find ourselves in a ‘fight, flight or freeze’ response.
Drawing from change management practice and neuroscience research, this session will discuss principles you can apply to your response to change and your transition-based decisions in the future.
Learning Outcomes
By the end of this course, you should be able to:
- Identify two key effects that change has on the human brain.
- Recognize the human emotions that are triggered by change.
- Identify three best practices for adjusting during periods of change.
