The Challenge of Change - Psychology at Work - New Zealand

People who are resilient work smarter, and can negotiate the inevitable changes that are the one certainty of life.  People who know what teamwork really means can turn good teams into great ones.

The Challenge of Change, uniquely developed from ongoing academic research and firmly evidence-based, applies cutting-edge psychology to training, assessment and development.  Designed by internationally renowned psychologist Dr Derek Roger, thousands of individuals both in the UK and NZ have already benefited from its often ‘life changing’ impact.

April - University of Palma Spain  Derek has a long-standing research collaboration with the team at the University of Palma in Spain, who specialise in neuroendocrine aspects of the stress response.  The team is led by Professor Gloria Garcia de la Banda, who spent some time as a visiting researcher at the Stress Research Unit that Derek directed at the University of York.  The visits have been reciprocated, with Derek spending periods at Palma as a visiting professor, and he will be doing so again this year during April.  The Sanish team is currently collaborating with Derek and Lehan Stemmet on cross-cultural dimensions of coping.
