View Leading and managing change training

NEW WORKSHOP DATE:
Join =mc Director Yvette Gyles on 17th July 2025 for an online workshop designed to boost your skills and confidence in managing others during times of change.
Discover core principles, ideas for how to manage change sensitively, and tools to enable you to support others effectively.

As part of our commitment to helping you and your organisation continue to deliver your vital work through times of change, we’re also running a Change and Me workshop on 16th July 2025. This half-day workshop offers insights and techniques for individuals who are navigating change at work. Book both workshops to access our Change Series Discount, bringing the total cost under £200 +VAT.

6 or more people to train? Get in touch to talk about bringing the programme in-house to your organisation or call us on +44 (0)74 3690 3103. We have a variety of delivery and content options on offer depending on your needs and budget.

Manage change with compassion and confidence

Managing change is one of the most challenging activities anyone can take on – whether as a manager, a team leader, or an HR professional.

This intensive programme shares =mc’s practical consulting experience helping a wide range of large and small agencies to develop effective change programmes – from NSPCC to Royal British Legion, to Glasgow City Council and Cambridge Assessment. As part of the programme you’ll be able to work on own change programme as well as understand the key dos and don’ts.

Sorry the date doesn't work for you this time. All our public training is scheduled when enough demand is there. Register your interest here and we'll let you know as soon as new dates are confirmed.
If you have 6 or more people to train it's worth getting in touch to discuss in-house options.

These include:
  • your choice of structure – as well as choosing dates to suit you, you can also decide whether to have the content delivered in full days, half-day sessions or bitesize sessions over separate days.
  • tailoring options – if you're looking to focus on particular elements of the programme, we can look into this.
  • self-directed learning – this enables participants to set learning goals, acquire knowledge and skills, set their own actions and evaluate themselves using a customised web portal which we'll build for you.
In order to make sure your in-house training needs are met, the best way to start this process is with a conversation (for free of course). Contact us online or call 074 3690 3103 to speak to one of our experienced consultants. For more information on the differences between online and face to face training, visit our Learning and Development page.

This programme is designed to boost your skills and confidence to manage change at a team or whole department level. Participants work through a range of practical models, tools and approaches to change, applying these to real-work changes they are experiencing. They will explore change drivers, identify why change happens and why it is necessary, and what choices they have when it comes making change happen.

They also explore the ‘softer’ side of managing change, including how to communicate change effectively and how to use emotional intelligence in change to support their teams and others.

Who is the programme for?

This programme is for individuals charged with managing change – managers who have been told change is happening, HR professionals needing to engage and support others, change agents tasked with making change happen, whether they are team leaders, or heads of department.

  • “This day has been very relevant to where we are as an organisation right now. Understanding how we can practically apply the Kotter model, and the different tools and approaches we have to choose from will be invaluable in tackling our current challenges.”

    Jon Cole, Assistant Director, External Relations, NIHR Evaluation, Trials and Studies Coordinating Centre (NETSCC)

  • “I now have a better understanding on how others react to change and how to support them. The programme is great for day to day management especially with big organisational change ahead“

    Karen Wyatt, Communications Manager, NIHR Coordinating Centre

  • “The Managing Change workshop was interesting, informative and thought provoking. I will be assisting to implement a change within the Team, and this has given me better insight and understanding of how to deal with the change, looking from other perspectives and utilising smaller steps than I would have previously thought of to ensure a smoother and more successful process of change.  The background of participants in this group was diverse, and as it was a safe space to talk openly, this allowed for open and honest discussion, and I feel that helped each of us to see and question change from varying perspectives.“

    Becky, participant on Managing Change, University of Worcester
