The Change Agent
This is a practical skills course that puts the focus on how individual contributors within the organisation can support their change managers and change leaders in driving forward change initiatives.
This course hones in on your biggest asset - your people! Those on the 'shop floor' doing the work, day in, day out.
Those who have first hand experience and insights into what actually happens to employees when the organisation goes through change.
One of the biggest reasons that change can fail, is because your people haven't been involved in the process. Their voices haven't been heard, they aren't aware of how the decisions have been made...change has been 'done to' them.
By investing in putting your individuals and teams on this course, you change that.
This course helps you make your employees an integral part of every change. We give them the knowledge of the 'why', the 'what' and the 'how' so that they can use their own unique strengths and skills to support change managers and change leaders in elevating the organisations success through change.
There is no other course like this available to organisations and it is a complete game changer for organisations working through change.

Program Outcomes:
Employees who are empowered to drive forward change through taking an active part in enabling and supporting change, with the skills to do so, and the confidence to apply those skills.
Individuals and teams who are aware of the organisational alignment of change and the organisations longer term strategic vision and objectives, and are able to drive change in alignment with these, and also have the confidence to speak up when change objectives are out of alignment with the bigger picture.
Enhanced awareness of strengths and how to utilise these during periods of change, and how to support others in also utilising their strengths, leading to increased morale and employee engagement.
A mindset of continuous improvement, always seeking ways to enhance processes, and contribute to ongoing organisational development.
Building a change-positive culture driven 'bottom-up', instead of only 'top-down'.
Leadership development. The skillsets taught in the course will also start preparing individuals to take on leadership roles within change and beyond, increasing their abilities and confidence, contributing to a stronger, more competitive organisation.
Glass Ripple Consulting is the only training and consulting company to offer change management training at this level.
The reason we do so is because your organisation doesn't succeed because a handful of people know how to run a change project. It succeeds when you have alignment within the organisation, with all levels motivated and skilled to enable them to be proactive and supportive of the change process.
Over the last 15 years, our research has found that one of the biggest challenges for change lies in the resistance felt from those who change is being 'done to'. This course was created specifically to change that. To bring this group into the change early, with parts to play and practical skills to learn and apply. To enable their voices to be heard, and their ideas to be recognised.
This is how you create a change positive organisational culture.

Why choose to work with Glass Ripple Consulting?
Hi, I'm Zoe, the founder and CEO of Glass Ripple Consulting...and this is not my first change rodeo!
With over 15 years managing change, both as a practitioner and as a change management trainer, I've learnt a thing or 2 about what people at different levels of the organisation need to know, and need to be skilled in, to lead and support effective change.
Our courses at Glass Ripple Consulting have been designed to be different.
We don't teach a 'one-size' fits all approach.
We don't cram 50 theories into a week of training and then expect you to know what you're doing.
We don't conduct a recall exam so we know that you can regurgitate models...
What we do instead is teach effective, practical, actionable tools and techniques that can be implemented immediately and provide tangible results for the organisation.
And how do we know that our training works?
Because throughout the sessions, and at the end, we ask questions to ensure you have understood the 'why' of the session, can use the tools, and most importantly, know how you are going to take them forward to use in the organisation.
We also offer support at a level not seen in any other change course, with all course delegates having access to a support community group where they can ask questions, share stories, help solve problems, and learn from each other, as well as the course.
We care about the learners experience and our teaching framework supports a supportive and engaging experience, no matter which course you join!
Psssst...you can find some of our testimonials at the bottom of this page!

I am really enjoying this program a lot because it is unique and definitely worth it."
