Ever heard of a popular book called Who Moved My Cheese? by Dr. Spencer Johnson? It's a little parable about dealing with change - specifically, how to create less stress and more success. On Friday, Sept. 27 at 8 a.m., "The Cheese Experience" is coming to Fayetteville. Based on the #1 best-selling book, Who Moved My Cheese?, this training program takes an in-depth look at how individuals respond in times of change and how to more effectively work with others in changing times. Using an activity-based approach, the program creates the opportunity to discover, discuss, and alter your response to change, as well as develop new skills to successfully initiate and manage change.
