Embracing Change
With Rick Maurer

Sessions for Leadership - Organizational Change

Rick Maurer works with organization leaders and their teams to implement change while paying attention to people. He offers powerful tools to handle change effectively. His books, Beyond the Wall of Resistance , Caught in the Middle, and The Feedback Toolkit, offer practical tools that enable people to improve management practices.

Rick is an experienced and powerful speaker on the topic of change, bringing warmth, humor and unique experience to each audience he addresses. Those in attendance leave his presentation with increased energy and new ideas for implementing change and handling resistance.

Rick’s sessions can be informal one-on-one sessions with the leader’s team, coffee cup in hand, talking about ways to build support for change…

  …or they can be specific such as his one-day session Building Support for Change to help the executive or departmental team build the capacity for change in their organization…

   …or his one-day session for Getting Back on Track, a workshop that helps the team look at what's not working and develop strategies to get back on track.

If your organization is dealing with change, these sessions will add real value to your leadership training or retreats.

Rick also offers a full range of management and staff development opportunities on topics such as leadership, teamwork, feedback and communication skills.
