Coaching SIG: Making Change Stick with Elise Foster

Want to make change stick? No doubt you've completed the first step - identifying a challenge and the key to changing your behavior. Whether it is a new management practice or personal growth strategy, you've found it! Not only did you find the perfect agent of change, you are 100% committed to putting it into practice. Perhaps, it has made it on to your formal personal development plan, or maybe it is simply written on a post-it note. Regardless, you are convinced this is a game changer for you!

And for the first week (maybe even two), making this new tool part of your daily practice was simple. But then, something happened...

(By the way, how are those New Year's resolutions coming?) Perhaps, you are currently working with a client who is facing this situation right now.

Why is it that making change, individually or organizationally, is so hard? Despite the best motivations and heartfelt intentions, people notoriously struggle to make sustainable change. Join Elise Foster where she will help you understand the real reason people won’t change and how to overcome the barriers to change. She will introduce the Immunity to Change™ (ITC) process, a method supported by more than 30 years of research and countless success stories. After an interactive introduction to the ITC process, we will continue the conversation by exploring participant questions and connections to each other's work.

Participants will walk away with an understanding of ITC and it can be used with clients to make positive sustainable change.

Please come and learn and share so we can all be better for each other and our clients.

PREWORK: Here is a link to a short article in the Harvard Business Review that provides a foundation for the Immunity to Change process. Reading it in advance might help spur our discussions. https://hbr.org/2001/11/the-real-reason-people-wont-change
