Professional Skillset Training for Support Staff: Change Management
Professional Skillset Training for Support Staff: Change Management
3 December from 13h - 16h30 in Leuven and the possibility to join online on 17 December for a recap
General context
Navigating change management: Leveraging transformation for success and organizational growth in laboratory and administrative management.
In this final segment of our professional skillset training, we embark on the ultimate journey of mastering the dynamics of change in our workplace. Our focus is on effectively adapting to new challenges, adjusting our boundaries, managing team resistance, and navigating confrontations.
- How does our communication evolve based on our role?
- As leaders, how do we respond when our boundaries are tested?
Recognizing that change often sparks resistance, both internally and externally, we equip you with the tools and techniques to effectively manage and mitigate this resistance. We uncover strategies for optimizing time management, identifying quick wins, and mastering the art of delegation.
Through a combination of role-playing exercises, reflective tools, and immersive real-life scenario analysis, participants will have the opportunity to develop a resilient and professional approach to change management within a supportive environment, fostering collective growth and experiential learning.
This training will be a combination of theory, role playing, exercises and situation analysis. The focus will be on practicing.
The in person half-a-day training will be followed by an online follow-up of 2 hours to recapitulate and discuss how what you learned could be implemented and if there were possible challenges.
For VIB support staff, lab technicians and admin.
Trainers
Barbara Baert
As a laboratory manager, Barbara soon discovered her passion for training and coaching. Her scientific studies taught her analytical thinking, but managing and guiding managers, employees and students trained her in the business world. 12 years of experience in people management, that's what makes your toolbox grow!
In 2021, however, Barbara opted for a career switch to professional company training and coaching. The focus included mentoring, sharpening professional soft skills, team operations and (self)leadership. and so she started B-management coaching & consulting (BMC).
As a professional skill set facilitator, she is always looking for new challenges with an emphasis on continuous improvement and broadening her horizon. She believes in goal-oriented professional transformation with a view to maintaining individuality and growing your own tools.
Helping others to step out of their comfort zone based on their own talent and strengths is one of her driving forces that she feels is essential for transforming managers and new, upcoming young potentials. She is an open-minded and disciplined professional with a quality-driven mindset.
