Why is change so hard???? Change is something everybody is interested in whether it’s gaining more self-confidence, reducing stress, listening deeply to another person, losing weight, being more decisive, or ending procrastination. And, yet, most of us find initiating and sustaining change very difficult. This applies to us individually, in work teams, and organizations.
The Immunity to Change process was developed by two Harvard professors, Dr. Kegan and Dr. Lahey. From their initial research on… Show more adult development and transformational change, to their current status as global leaders of sustainable change, their work has evolved into a different model (or way of going about change) that begins with a deep understanding as to why change is so hard and the reasoning behind it.
If you lead, manage, consult or coach — and personal improvement or team performance is one of your biggest concerns, the Immunity to Change approach could be invaluable to your work.
During this presentation, Linda will take you on a quick tour of the ITC process and guide you in the creation of our own change map, providing each of you with a visual picture of your personal immune system.
ICF-OC guests attending this event are invited to bring one or two ideas for a self-improvement goal for use in this session that will be able to make a difference in your life and is:
1. Focused on you
2. About you getting better at something
3. Powerful to you
