MAKE CHANGE STICK / 1-day workshop

Getting results by changing the inner game

> A workshop for leaders at management and executive levels

OVERVIEW

After nearly dying from heart problems, Michael Eisner, the former CEO of The Walt Disney Company, vowed to ‘let go’ of some of his duties. He brought in Michael Ovitz, co-founder of the mighty Creative Artists Agency, as second in command. But Eisner – with his very life on the line – failed to "let go" and see the idea through. He struggled to do what he publicly committed to do.

This phenomenon is all too common. Despite knowing what to do, and declaring we want to do it, we fail to do it. Science now reveals the reasons: old habits, a fixed mindset, and our unconscious mind co-conspire to make us immune to change. This workshop provides the opportunity to apply the science-based approach developed at Harvard University credited as having "cracked the code" on this immunity to change phenomena.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN

Science about the brain about why we keep doing what we do in life and business, even when we want to stop
How individual habits along with the collective mindsets in our organizations combine to create a natural, but powerful, immunity to change
Insights from neuroscience and neuroplasticity into what it takes to make change stick
A step-wise process to diagnose and reveal your own immunity to change
3 essential stages to overturn any immune system
A 7-week plan designed to kick start the change you want to make

WHO SHOULD ATTEND

Anyone wanting to create a breakthrough in their own performance. High achievers disappointed with conventional training as a means for genuine development and growth. Participants should come prepared to work on their own improvement goal. If a goal is not yet set, we encourage participants to bring documents related to personal assessments, e.g. 360 Feedback, corporate learning plans, or performance reviews.

“In a very short time you helped me identify a core issue that is central to preventing me from achieving my goal. What I discovered was surprising and yet familiar at the same time. Since taking this workshop I have made some real progress that not only my boss, but more importantly my wife, have noticed!”

“If you want to learn how you can think differently, and are willing to be challenged, this is a workshop you should consider. It has deep ramifications for business and life.”

“Thank you for a great session today. I was particularly excited to see our senior leaders step up and model their willingness to acknowledge they have room to grow. Also I loved the noise of 44 of our leaders talking about their one big thing(s). What a beautiful thing.”
