Change Adoption – Tempest in a Teacup or Maelstrom In The Open Sea

Every person has their own unique relationship with change.  The variables that may influence this relationship are many.  The endless combination of variables means there is no "one size fits all" for overcoming a person's resistance to change.  

Using some of the most important theories of individual change as our guide, we will explore more common causes of change resistance and discuss frameworks to help us better recognize where a person is in their relationship to change so that we can better adapt to meet where they are. 

Learning Objectives:

• Examine Diffusion of Innovation Theory's core construct.
• Discuss the Transtheoretical Model and its relevant sub-processes.
• Explore Motivational Interviewing to overcome change resistance.
