Making Transformational Change: Diagnosing and Overturning An Immunity to Change

Presented by Deborah Helsing, EdD

Friday, February 22, 2019 
8:00 a.m. - 9:00 a.m.
ICF-CT General Meeting 
Virtual Zoom Webinar

This event will ONLY be held live at 8 am. There will NOT be a recording provided to anyone on the call or who misses the event by request of the presenter.

Why is change so difficult, even when our clients are genuinely committed to it? What can we do to better support them to succeed in changing? The Immunity-to-Change model (as described in Immunity to Change, Harvard Business Press, 2009) is designed to enable individuals to identify assumptions they currently hold that are likely to interfere with their personal effectiveness. Participants in this session will gain a powerful picture, or “diagnostic,” of the systematic way they unintentionally work against the wanted behavior (this is what we call the “immunity to change”), and what they can do to disrupt that system.

Please come to the session with a personal improvement goal that is of high interest to you. Feel free to use the following question if you don’t have an immediate goal, “What is the one thing, that if I got better at, would really help me be a more effective _____ (e.g., coach, consultant, leader, spouse, or parent)?” 

Examples of personal improvement goals:

to be a better listener, to genuinely understand what a person says, or to express my point of view, especially when I disagree, or
to be less judgmental of other people and myself; to be more curious
to take better care of myself, to make healthier choices

You may want to ask for input from people who know you well and have your best interests at heart.  Whatever you decide upon, please write it down prior to attending the webinar and have it with you.
