“Change Imposed is Change Opposed.” If this popular axiom is true then how do organizations implement vital change while managing such resistance? Taking this paradox head on, Kathy Cleveland Bull creates an unparalleled experience for participants as she shares powerful stories, proven organizational change models as well as the latest advances in integrating organizational and personal change strategies necessary for successful, long term change. Participants discover profound truths about change that give individuals and organizations a quick and easy way to understand change and internalize their responsibility in “Taking Charge of Change”.
This dynamic address by Kathy Cleveland Bull, is built around the internationally bestselling business book, Who Moved My Cheese? by Spencer Johnson, MD. Celebrating its 20th Anniversary, Who Moved My Cheese continues to reveal profound truths about change that gives people and organizations a quick and easy way to understand change and then to internalize the metaphor to succeed in changing times.
Kathy had the unique opportunity to work with Dr. Johnson in the original development of the training materials that support the learnings in Who Moved My Cheese? Through this relationship, she has developed an intimate understanding of the book’s insights and she is ready to share them with you!
From the moment we wake up it seems that we are controlled by WANT. It’s as if we inadvertently get onto a “Craving Train” that rolls down the tracks and takes over our freedom and power of choice. We eat things, buy things, say things and do things out of habit and with little thought. We think that “out there” – at some destination yet to be reached - we will find health, peace and happiness. In her humorous and poignant style, Kathy Cleveland Bull will help us jump off the moving Craving Train and regain control of our health and well-being.
Kathy helps clients with health, wellness and eating related issues as Director of the Center for Eating Psychology and as a certified Eating Psychology Coach.
