The Change Transition: It’s a Human Thing | August 2025 Expert Insights Webinar

The Change Transition: It’s a Human Thing

Date and Time:   August 20, 2025 12-1pm

Last Day to Register: August 18, 2025

Presenter: Christine Moore

The mantra “Change is Hard” is insufficient. 

Change and the transition process that creates change is human. 

And humans are unique and messy.  While change management provides valuable tools to organizational leaders, the fact is that each human experiences each change in a different way and at a different pace.  That is why organizational change occurs one person at a time.  This Expert Insights session will present a Transition Process theory.

Take-aways:
  • Learn a research-supported transition process
  • Understand why some change is hard, and some change is easy
  • Appreciate the transition process that others are experiencing

Audience: ALL

  • Managers, team leaders, and HR professionals
  • Mentors and mentees from all generations
  • Organizations interested in enhancing workplace culture and collaboration
  • Employees seeking career development opportunities
