Title:  Riding the Wave: Strategies for Change
Media:  Video
Author:    CRM Films
Based on the Book "From Chaos to Confidence: Survival Strategies for the New Workplace" by Susan Campbell, Ph.D.
Most people, in spite of their aspirations toward growth and learning, do not have sufficient trust in themselves to let go of the need to look good or appear in control.  Dealing with change requires that we go through an uncomfortable period of "not knowing" - learning something we're not yet good at or hanging out in unfamiliar territory.
The secret of this training is in letting go of the need to be right, or to get our own way, and instead focusing on what we can learn from every single unwanted surprise that happens to us.  When we make this one very crucial internal shift, we are no longer afraid of getting caught off guard.  We expect to get caught off guard sometimes, and we welcome these situations for what they can teach us about ourselves and about life.
As a result, we go about our business open to everything life deals to us, instead of trying to protect or defend ourselves.  We become more confident and self-trusting, less fearful.  Everything we do has more clarity, power, and impact.  This is the payoff for making the shift from Security/Control thinking to the more change-friendly Learning/Discovery thinking described in this program.

Title:  Tactics of Innovation
Media:    Set
Author:    Barker, Joel
"How to make it easier for people to accept new ideas"
The goal of this program is to help individuals or organizations who are introducing change increase the likelihood that it will be accepted by presenting 10 tactics that you can use to assist participants in their endeavors.
Determine how well the innovation fits the users' needs and how compatible it is with what they are already doing, so that you can redesign the innovation to be more acceptable.  Innovators do have the opportunity to influence acceptance.
