Description:
Let's face it, change is as incessant as life - things change whether we embrace it or not. We know this. We all have expectations for change. Nine out of every 10 people believe their lives will be very different in five years' time. However one in three people would avoid change if they could.
Alan Toffler, the famous futurologist stated, “The illiterate of the future will not be those who cannot read and write, but will be those who cannot learn, unlearn, and relearn.” When we can alter our thought patterns to adjust for new circumstances, we are more flexible to life in general, which builds our resiliency and increases our happiness.
Chief Administrative Law Judge Lorraine Lee and Legal Administrative Manager Connie Becker will bring us some understanding about the change process and provide us some information and tools to help you be more receptive and adaptable to change.
