- #78 Get your vision aligned
Summer means special episodes at the Change Course Podcast! We're running some selected episodes from our sister series, Change: The Conversation. These were originally run as a video series, but we've transformed them into podcasts just for you!
We hope that you enjoy them!
In this episode of Change: The Conversation we continue our conversation with Stephanie J. Marshall.
So, where the heck are we going? Change is the destination. We're back with Stephanie J. Marshall, alignment coach, to talk about the importance of vision. Stephanie breaks down the vision process and how she helps clients build a compelling vision and what makes it impactful and successful. Developing a personal vision is just the beginning, and Stephanie talks about the key component that is absolutely critical before any change can really happen. We get into why using creativity and imagination conflicts in your brain with the tactical planning, and how Steph uses the first law of alignment: spend more time thinking about what we want than what we don't want.Want more amazing change & transformation content?

In this episode of Change: The Conversation I have the pleasure of speaking with Stephanie J. Marshall. I’m a client of Stephanie’s and a huge fan of the alignment framework, so this conversation is one for the ages. We talk about the intersection of personal and organizational change and what this all means.
So what is an alignment coach? In this episode Stephanie J. Marshall of Kickstartology introduces us to the wonderful world of alignment coaching and how it relates to personal change. Stephanie is in the business of coaching leaders through change and helping them effectively lead their teams. We talk about how an amazing transformation always starts with you, and how we can approach change from a personal perspective. We talk about why resistance and denial are normal reactions to change and how to get through them. Then, we get into who is most surprised by the emotional reactions to change. Stephanie breaks down how small shifts lead to lasting transformation and success in any change and how alignment is at the center of it all.Want more amazing change & transformation content?

We're back for our third conversation with Nadine Araksi, and we are talking about when you want to build a new future, the stories that you create are incredibly powerful. Nadine is an expert at crafting story to create shared vision and making the future real. We talk about context, intent and the building blocks that you need to build a strong story for change. We cover what to do if you need to adjust or change the story mid-flight-- how context and new information can impact us, and how getting it right (vs. being right) focuses us on the process vs. the end result. This conversation is for anyone looking to spark change in others and themselves, in a positive way.Want more amazing change & transformation content?

Nadine Araksi and I are back with another conversation on the power of story, and in this one, we get deep into how to use story to bring about change. How to the stories we tell about ourselves, our own thoughts and internal stories help us understand and manage our experiences. Nadine breaks down one of the ways that she coaches people through discovering their own stories, how they can identify resistance and change their stories to enable bigger change in their work, lives and organizations.Want more amazing change & transformation content?

This week I'm joined by Nadine Araksi, an expert on stories and how they can facilitate incredible change. Nadine talks about the client work that she does as a story coach and how story has been the unifying thread throughout her life and career. We get into how story is a tool to help people connect with purpose and intent, how it facilitated inclusion and brings people together. Nadine talks about one of her favourite tools for using and applying story and how central emotions are in story to make sense of our experiences, thoughts and decisions. Nadine tells us about a difficult change experience that she led a team through and how story was an important part of helping people move through the change towards a common future.Want more amazing change & transformation content?

18 min - #72 Adapting your facilitation approach
If the world of change facilitation has changed, what does that mean for us as facilitators? We've talked about changing the approach and the tools, but what about how we show up as facilitators at the event itself?
In this episode I talk about energy and how important it is to bring the right level of energy and enthusiasm to your virtual or hybrid event.
I reflect on some recent experiences where I attended a virtual event and an in-person event that was also broadcast to virtual attendees. The learning from these two events had a significant impact in how I'm approaching virtual and hybrid facilitation events going forward, and I can't wait to share these insights with you!

19 min - #71 Choose your tools wisely
Last week we talked about how much of the world of change facilitation has changed with our new ways of working in virtual and hybrid environments. This week I talk about how we need to change the tools that we are using to make change facilitation in these new environments successful and engaging for participants.
Remember the days of flip charts and sticky notes? I do... fondly! I used to love getting up in front of a room and facilitating an amazing in-person session. When we first moved into the virtual environment we tried to replicate this approach and it didn't really work.
So I started on a journey to find what worked well and how we can use different facilitation tools today, that we could have only dreamed about in the past!
I talk about why it is important to be mindful of the tools and approaches that you're using, and how to determine what will work best.
I truly think that this approach presents more opportunities for participants, and there are more cool tools and techniques coming available every day.

19 min - #70 Change facilitation has changed
The way we facilitate change has changed! With the shift towards virtual and hybrid environments, it's almost impossible to get a team of people into the same room together to do anything face-to-face. If you do, it's a real treat!
In this episode I share what I've learned over the past several years working with global companies and through the big shift to remote work, on what makes change facilitation in hybrid and virtual environments successful.
In this episode I cover:
1) Planning your facilitation events, thinking about pre-and post work that can happen outside of the virtual “room”
2) Breaking up asynchronous and synchronous work
3) Clarifying and promoting what we are doing so others get visibility into the process
4) Being inclusive in a virtual space
5) How these activities need to link into the communications strategy

16 min - #69 All about communications
I've spent the past few weeks speaking with incredible companies about change, and working with change sponsors. Here's the thing... the way we do change is changing. I'm hearing from so many more operational leaders who are now being asked to lead change more and more, and they're feeling pushed out of their comfort zone!
For sponsors who are really good at operations, change presents a challenge. How can you talk effectively about change when you don't have all of the answers!
In today's episode I talk through what you need to know as a change manager when planning communications, from both a sponsor and organizational perspective and how to break down the work into pieces that you can work with and plan, and help your sponsors excel in their role as change leader.
