Handling Change at Work: Resets to Stay Confident and Effective

Workplace change rarely pauses for you to catch up. Priorities shift, ownership blurs, and decisions land without warning. In this course, organizational psychologist Erin Shrimpton equips you with power resets—practical, in-the-moment strategies for staying effective while direction is still taking shape. You learn how to clarify what matters most when expectations shift, use a simple alignment check to avoid misdirected effort, and find stability when change has no clear owner to escalate to. Erin also walks you through three-word pep talks grounded in psychology for quick recovery, and introduces job crafting as a way to actively shape your role instead of waiting for change to resolve.
