Unlocking Your Potential: the Immunity to Change™ approach
facilitated by David Westerlund
Founder of Be Present Discover Joy
Consulting and Coaching
This course will be highly-interactive, taking time to build a robust learning container to enable us to dive into the Immunity to Change ™ (ITC) approach. Harvard's Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey have developed ITC over twenty years of research in adult development.
Why is it that even when we are committed to change that matters, we still find ourselves stuck?
We must do the work of inner development. (Even the UN has catalyzed Inner Development Goals to meet the complex challenges of our times.)
The Nike motto falls short. It’s not a matter of Just Doing It. What we need is to grow in our mental complexity. We need to discover our “immunity to change’’ - the hidden dynamics (that we each have a particular version of) - and then explore whether and how it’s still serving us or not.
What results is a new experience of agency and liberation. We can free ourselves from Big Assumptions that have been holding onto us, limiting what’s possible, and shift to expanding the possibilities that are now available to us!
This course is for you
if you want to:
Experience powerful virtual engagement with others that connects, energizes, and inspires.
Learn the Immunity to Change™ approach that will allow you to see the lens you are looking through
Explore whether your Big Assumptions are really as ''always true'' as you think they are
Bring your whole self - vulnerable and imperfect - to the conversations
