Who delivers the Workshops?

Our specialist faculty has been selected not just on their professional and academic expertise, but also on their ability to engage audiences with their dynamism, charisma and warmth. You can see their profiles on our faculty page .

What supporting materials do participants receive?

Each participant will receive exercises and supplementary reading to embed the learning before and after the workshop. In addition, an extensive and printable workbook will be provided for use during the session itself, and as a reference document afterwards.

Can I film the Workshop?

We generally do not allow filming of any of our live events, as our workshops are a safe space and this would likely inhibit the feeling of safety and privacy required by attendees in order to participate fully. Our goal is always to create the very best experience for our participants, and for that we try to preserve the closed nature of the sessions.

What is the maximum group size for a workshop?

Due to the nature of the material covered in our Workshops, we find that smaller group sizes help everyone to feel relaxed and get the most out of participating, so we have a maximum group size of 20 participants per workshop. If you are looking to engage a large number of people at once, our Talks can be delivered to audiences of any size; and as such they act as a great introduction to The School of Life at Work.

Can I book just one Workshop on its own?

Yes. However, because certain Workshops, and Talks complement one another and work well in tandem, we often recommend booking them as part of longer programmes, according to your team or organisation’s needs.

Can I attend a Workshop on my own?

These Workshops are designed for corporate training – where an organisation books private sessions for their internal teams, delivered at a time of their choosing. Business Workshops for individuals can be found under ‘Open Enrolment’ on our website. To see what’s coming up, click here .

According to Accenture Digital, 93% of executives believe their industry will undergo major changes and disruptions in the next few years, yet only 20% felt fully prepared to adapt and respond.

More About the Workshop

In this two-hour session, we will

• Discuss why we often fear change and how we can come to fear it less.

• Practise techniques for cultivating an open mind towards change and new strategies for implementing it.

• Learn imaginative techniques for developing new ideas, rather than relying on old paradigms.

• Learn methods for coping with uncertainty and setbacks and for embracing improvisation, uncertainty and growth.

What characterises mastery of this skill?

Adaptive employees have overcome the fear of change and are generally optimistic about outcomes of organisational change. They feel comfortable in changing and unpredictable environments and actively contribute to the implementation of change.

What characterises a lack of this skill?

Employees with a lack of adaptability instinctively show active or passive resistance to organisational change or feel paralysed and anxious when their working environment changes. Even in new teams they prefer sticking to old habits and consider organisational change more as a threat than an opportunity.
