When the only constant thing in life is change, why is it still so challenging for us to manage it? When we think of change management, we think of a robust strategy to regulate the impact of large-scale organizational changes. Yet we, as individuals, when we’re dealing with our own version of massive change, try to manage it by ourselves without a plan or support system in place.

In this interactive workshop, Sarah Aviram shows how we can take change management practices typically used for organizational change, simplify them, and practically apply them to ourselves to influence our desired outcomes and reduce uncertainty. You’ll learn how to approach changes in your work and life with the structure and support that you deserve.

Key take-aways:

  • Understand the three most significant reasons why people struggle with change
  • Get strategies on how to manage your own resistance to change
  • Identify how to support others during times of change
  • Create a change management action plan

About Keynote Speaker Sarah Aviram

My Story: In December 2018, I was researching the future of work as the Director of Talent Development for a New York-based tech company.

All signs pointed toward a remote and hybrid work world (Covid-19 accelerated that trend by at least a decade).

I wanted to better understand the opportunities and challenges remote workers faced and convinced my former CEO to let me work remotely for 1 year – from around the world.

Two months later, I was one a one-way flight to Lima, Peru.

Over the next year, I lived and worked remotely from 12 countries in 12 months. From co-working spaces in Mexico City and Medellin, to cafes in Kuala Lumpur and Kyoto.

Many remote workers I met thought that having the freedom and flexibility to work from anywhere would make them feel happier and
more motivated at work. But then they found themselves working from that beach in Bali still feeling stuck and unfulfilled.

I quickly realized that being able to work from anywhere was only a band aid solution for a much bigger challenge: not being motivated by the work itself.

Through interviews, focus groups, and surveys I conducted with remote workers, as well as my HR expertise, I identified the key motivators that drive the fulfillment of remote workers. This research became the basis of my best-selling book, Remotivation: The Remote Worker’s Ultimate Guide to Life-Changing Fulfillment.

I look forward to sharing my experience and research with your audience and the world, because it’s only once these motivators are activated and managed, that people can truly gain the benefits of a remote and hybrid work life.
