Discovering Your Immunities to Change Workshop

Have you ever made a New Year's resolution only to have it fade into memory by February or March? Sometimes our resolutions to change don't even last that long. In spite of our most sincere intentions to change, often we can't get out of our rut.

Discoverying Your Immunities to Change is a half-day workshop for anyone who struggles to make change in their life. Participants follow a process to discover how they resist the changes they want to make. Then they learn how to open new possibilities for making these changes happen.

This workshop is based on the concepts and exercises from the book "How the Way We Talk Can Change the Way We Work" by Kegan and Lahey.

What happens in the workshop?
As a participant, you will learn how to discover your resistance to the changes you want to make. The discovery process deepens your understanding step by step. During the workshop you'll partner with another participant to offer your support for deepening their understanding. In return, you'll also be supported by them. You'll learn how to use what you've discovered about yourself to relax the resistance and open new possibilities for making the changes you want to make.

Workshop enrollment is limited to 20 participants.

What results can participants expect from completing this workshop?
Upon completing this workshop,

  • you will learn something new and useful about yourself - about how you resist a change that you want to make,
  • you will leave with a self-observation and/or practice that will help you relax your resistance to this change, and
  • you will learn a process that you can use on your own to discover how you resist change in your life.
