You must register for this session.

Change is a fact of life, but letting go of the familiar can be challenging. When individuals understand the need for change, and are resourced to manage it, they can transition with greater ease. Participants in this session will explore strategies, frameworks, self-care tools, and resources to navigate the change process successfully.

Thursday, March 29, 2018 — 9:30 AM to 11:00 AM EDT
