Club Meeting & Navigating the Human Side of Change with Victoria Kucherchuk

From Endings to Beginnings: Navigating the Human Side of Change

In today’s change-saturated environment, project managers are not just delivering outcomes—they’re guiding people through emotional and cognitive transitions. This interactive workshop explores the psychology of endings, the discomfort of the neutral zone, and the power of intentional relearning. Participants will engage in reflective exercises and leave with a practical framework to help teams unlearn outdated habits, embrace new ways of working, and move through change with greater empathy and resilience.
