Invite Engagement: Frame Change as Choice

  Career Development   Communications Management  

As human beings, we don’t like being changed. Even things we like doing become much less appealing when we feel forced to do them.

We do like change when we feel we are making a choice. When we feel invited.

As project managers, how we show up as human beings influences how people engage with us.

Often we fall into the trap of commanding and directing and our results match this. We may chose a different path by inviting people.

When we are inviting, we take a risk. And we take a chance. That is compelling, and creates momentum, drives engagement. We increase capacity available to our endeavour, within our context, and within the people who make the choice to join and help us.

Presenters Olaf Lewitz and Michael Sahota will share simple models and practical tools that enable us to invite more engagement, tomorrow.
