An effective (and sustainable!) alternative to setting new years’ resolutions

Unhook from the limiting beliefs that have been holding you back
Create a step change in how you’re able to be as a leader
Let’s make this year different
Have you ever set yourself a behaviour-change goal — say to delegate more, to set firmer boundaries on your time, or to get better at having courageous conversations — but as earnestly as you might have wanted to improve, found yourself making little to no progress?
If so, you're not alone. Change can be hard! In fact, some estimates suggest that as much as 80% of new year's resolutions fail to be achieved.
Fortunately, 30 years of research on adult (vertical) development has discovered a way to improve your odds of success. The process comes from Harvard University researchers Bob Kegan and Lisa Lahey and is called Overcoming Immunity to Change. The reason it's so effective is that it intervenes at the level of beliefs rather than behaviours.
In this workshop, you'll have the opportunity to explore an area of your life that you'd like to get better in, which perhaps has proven resistant to change in the past.
You'll be guided through the process of creating your own personal Immunity to Change map, which will help you uncover aspects of your own psychology that may be keeping you from creating the personal change that you crave.
In this interactive, online workshop, you'll learn:
Why it can be so hard to change your behaviour (even when you really want to!)
How to create your own personal Immunity to Change map so you can get to the root of what's holding you back anytime you feel stuck
The proven process for shifting those stubborn limiting beliefs that are keeping you from realising your potential.

As this experience is highly interactive and participatory, with breakout room discussions, etc and we want to respect the confidentiality of the personal aspects people may choose to share, we will not be recording this session.
