I got such a sense of clarity on change through this short mini course. Getting a way to discuss what kind of changes (developmental, transitional and transformational) was a huge shift in the way I explore change projects and conversations.

I'm very impressed with this model and so impressed with how the "human dynamics" component is incorporated as an integral part of this process. I can already sense this training will serve me well as colleague, leader, and coach

You’ll be able to apply what you learn to your work and life immediately. All programs are stakeholder focused and based in experiential, adult learning theory. Your learnings will be relevant and meaningful because the cases, examples, models and methods speak to you in your role. You practice what you learn to embody and retain the wisdom long term.
No matter which development path you choose, each opportunity integrates learning objectives and uses common language, strategies, models, and tools. These set in motion a “force-multiplying effect” that plays specific reinforcing roles to accelerate your development and provide immediate results.
