Even change changes | Paul Kirkbride

Back in 2009, when the dust of the GFC began to settle and its impacts appeared in full view, Paul Kirkbride recognised a transformation in the training and development landscape. Attitudes shifted and companies began to target their change management and training budget more sensibly. (HR Monthly, 1 December 2009)

For each organisation a critical choice arose:

· Continue to manage in the same way, struggling with the same issues and getting the same results.

or

· Step into a completely new way of seeing, thinking, being and leading, offering new possibilities for organisational success.

Moving now to 2011, here is an opportunity to take part in an intensive two day Executive Series program with Paul Kirkbride. Paul will provide you with new knowledge and new thinking on the topic of creating change within your organisation, bringing it into the new year with success.

Making Change Happens begins February 28. There are still a few places left. Contact Marianne Carollo at the Melbourne Business School for more info +61 3 9349 8292 or m.carollo@mbs.edu 

Scenarios where Psychological Flexibility can help you | Carol Gill

Have you found yourself in any of the following scenarios?

• You have a ‘personality clash’ with your boss which is having negative consequences for your career.

• You keep trying to make a contribution to your work team but your efforts are consistently rejected. You feel isolated and alone. 

• You are at a meeting and get so frustrated that you stand up and leave slamming the door behind you. Your boss puts you on probation…one more outburst and you lose your job. You hope you can keep the ‘lid on it’ from now on. 

Carol Gill

Dr. Carol Gill has specialised in the fields of executive learning and development, human resource management and organisation development for more than 25 years.
