Fall Communications Delivers "Embracing Change" Training November 10, 2003 -- Fall Communications latest facilitated course, "Embracing Change", has been a huge hit with participants. "I've never had any training on how to approach change before this. I felt like I learned a lot. I have a new life tool - thanks!!" wrote one of the 400 participants that received "Embracing Change" training over the past two weeks. "Embracing Change" was developed recognizing that change is an inevitable part of life and how we react to constant change is critical to our professional and personal success. This interactive session guides participants to an understanding of change and their reactions to it; and provides valuable strategies and practical techniques to handle change in both their professional and personal lives. The blending of professional and personal change was particularly appreciated by participants, one of whom stated, "Trainer was excellent. Really enjoyed this class and it will help in both work and private life. Helped me with private life and some issues I have been dealing with!! Thanks". If you would like additional information on how Fall Communications' "Embracing Change" training can move your team through changes you are facing, please contact Angel Rogers at 703.445.1655.

North Dakota Recognizes Fall Communications In Newsletter
Article in North Dakota Newsletter "In Touch" The "Embracing Change" training wraps up today in Bismarck, with the final session scheduled for this afternoon. Facilitator Gordon Fowler's whirlwind two-week tour of the state has been an interesting experience for the California resident. Single-digit morning temperatures do not mix well with his thin West Coast blood. "It's a good thing Starbuck's is in Bismarck," he says, warming himself with his standard venti vanilla latte. Gordon has been in love with North Dakota ever since his first week here last year working with the Project SHARE coordinators. The SHARE Network is a passion for Gordon and his company, Fall Communications. His eyes light up as he talks about the Network and the success of the SHARE coordinators. He's especially impressed with this agency's ability to succeed. "When North Dakotans do something," he has often said, "they don't just get it done. They do it better than anyone else." That admiration for the state prompts Gordon to say his dream job would be to serve as North Dakota's Tourism Director. As for the change management training, evaluations have been extremely positive. Several have said the training "revolutionized" their lives, while many more commented that the training could have run an entire day or maybe two. Thanks to all who participated in the training and opened up to positive change. Also, thanks to Julie Rostberg for coordinating the training and making sure Gordon didn't get lost!
