Skills for Change Agents
 
Creating, responding to, and managing rapid change is essential for professional success and for achieving sustainability results.  However, it is not easy.  In this workshop, we'll explore the pressures for - and the barriers to - personal, cultural, political and (especially) organizational change.  We'll surface some of our own assumptions about how change happens, or why it doesn't.  And, we'll learn and practice some of the leadership skills that can be used by people anywhere in the organizational hierarchy.  This workshop draws on ideas from Peter Senge's The Fifth Discipline, the systems thinking work of the late Dana Meadows, and the facilitative leadership ideas created by the Interaction Institute for Social Change.  
 
Participants can expect to be challenged, and to leave with a better sense of the skills and ideas needed by those who accept the role of "change agent".
