Managing Change Transitions – Antoinette Smith, CAP-OM
Change occurs constantly in many ways and is situational: whether moving to a new location, reorganizing of a business, moving
to a new assignment within your company, learning new technology, or perhaps retiring from a long-time career. There are
limitless situations for change. It isn’t the change people have difficulty with, it’s the transition management.
Change transition is a three-phase process people go through as they work through the details of a change. Participants will gain
information on the process of change (change management and transition management). Leaders will gain information on
 How to effectively communicate change.
 Identify how to lead people through the transition of letting go of the known comfort zone.
 Gain tips on leveraging engagement to navigate the change process that will ultimately lead to new beginnings.
