PSYC499 Change and Emerging Trends in the Field of Psychology

The only thing certain in these challenging and exciting times is that change is inevitable. Change comes at warp speed and we need to develop the capacity to thrive in times of change, volatility, uncertainty and ambiguity. The pace of change, the level of its complexity and the impact of its implementation can be daunting to even the most experienced organizational experts. This course explores why people resist and seek change at the same time. Comparative approaches for coping with old and new states of change will be explored. Students engage in reflection about their own stages of change and how they can apply these insights to their own experiences.
