Help your organization manage change successfully with this comprehensive workshop based on the New York Times #1 best-selling book, "Who Moved My Cheese?".

Why?
* Has your organization recently been through change or will you soon be involved in a merger or acquisition?
* Is there a downsizing or rapid growth in store for your organization?
* How do you handle the "survivors" left after these events have taken place?

The simple truths found in "Who Moved My Cheese?" are having a major impact worldwide. This topic will enable everyone to find a better way of succeeding in changing times. "Who Moved My Cheese?" is an amusing and enlightening tale of four characters (Sniff, Scurry, Hem, and Haw) who live in a Maze and look for Cheese to nourish them and make them happy.

Cheese is a metaphor for whatever you want to have in life - job, relationship, money, health, peace of mind. And the Maze is where you look for it - the organization you work in, or the family or community you live in. The Cheese story allows the audience to step outside of their own fears and concerns about change, identify with one of their characters, and gain a new "Cheese" vocabulary that quickens the change process. People then begin to see things differently and start to act in new ways to help themselves and their organization adapt and succeed.

Using the Cheese metaphor and language saves time, reduces stress and gives people an enjoyable way to thrive in times of personal and professional change.
