Gestalt Institute of Cleveland will offer a multi-session workshop beginning in September 2011 on how to better communicate about and gain support for ideas and change initiatives

"Influence. Action. Change!™"
Resistance to Change in Businesses & Organizations

The Bad News: Statistics show that only 30% of change initiatives within businesses succeed and live up to expectations, whether they are significant mergers and acquisitions, implementation of large enterprise resource management (ERP) systems, relocation of corporate headquarters or even relocation of the office supply cabinet. In the book, "Beyond the Wall of Resistance" — a must-read for today's successful businesses - acclaimed author and consultant Rick Maurer delves into the underlying organizational behaviors and ingrained cultural patterns that result in this dismally low success rate.

The Good News: Maurer and noted organizational consultant Dr. Jacqueline McLemore are collaborators in a hands-on professional development program entitled "Influence. Action. Change!™" designed to address the very issues affecting large-scale change initiatives within the business arena.

Many good ideas die a slow, costly death or never take hold because the leaders, managers, or advisors lack the ability to connect fully with the energy and culture of the organization. When a successful outcome depends on having meaningful support, engagement, commitment, or resources of others, the ability to influence and gain that support is paramount.

For most leaders, consultants, coaches, and individual contributors, the ability to influence boards, individuals, teams, and sometimes entire organizations is critical to success. Influence may seem like a "soft skill", yet people who get things done in businesses understand it deeply, especially when everyone is doing more with less.

Influence. Action. Change!™ is a new intensive program tailored for busy lives and demanding schedules, and combines Web-based conversations, group calls, two three-day training sessions at the Gestalt Institute of Cleveland, and one-on-one coaching support to apply the learning back on the job. This program is all about what it takes to get support for ideas; it provides an opportunity to practice, receive feedback, and apply this practical learning on the job.

The workshop opens with a Webcast & Podcast on September 12 and continues with sessions in Cleveland on September 25-28 and Nov 14-16. Individual tuition is $4,200, and groups receive discounts.
