The Disappearing Sand Beach - A Story About Change Want to Help Employees Accept Change? Tell Them About 'The Disappearing Sand Beach.' Far off in the sea is an island, born of the erupting volcano, with the wind and rain and the pounding waves. And on this island is a wonderful, wide, white sand beach. Since the birth of the island, this beach would not stay put. The sea would take back the white sand when a big storm struck and leave only rough-black volcanic rock. Then the winds would die down, and the surf settle and the white sand would return to the shore and become once again a beautiful, wide beach. It would be wider and whiter than it was before, and the storm would bring more fish to the island, to feed the birds and the animals. It was like this every few years after a storm, for ten thousand storms. The storm would be frightening. Everything would look different for a while. But the beach would always come back, bringing more fish than before. All of the living things of the island understood and accepted. Until the humans came. A Question for Reflection: How is the storm a metaphor for the change that we are experiencing in many aspects of our lives (i.e., global changes, economy, careers and family)? This metaphor is just one of many utilized by the video-based training programs: Leading the Change (for managers) and (Making the Change) for all employees. See more information on this page.

Sacred Cows Make The Best Burgers

What is a "sacred cow"? An outmoded belief, practice, policy, system or strategy that inhibits changes and prevents responsiveness to new opportunities. As a pioneer in sports psychology, and a best selling author, Robert Kriegel, PhD applies his unique expertise to the world of business. In Sacred Cows he will teach you how to develop the change-ready mind-set that will enable you and your organization to respond quickly to the exciting changes, challenges and opportunities of modern business.   Key Training Points: Check your inheritance Recognize sacred cows Start small Develop a hunting mentality Many sacred cows start as good ideas. But as the way we do business changes, what was once common sense loses it’s relevance. Getting everyone in your company involved in the hunt helps develop a change-ready work environment. Every person in every department has a unique perspective and can add insight on many levels – products, customers, vendors, services, policies, procedures – wherever sacred cows can hide.
