Immunity to Change: This is Leadership Development - A Workshop by Robert Kegan

Preconference Experiential Workshop
When:  Wed. October 27, 09:00 - 12:00
Where: Marriott Boston Copley Place (ILA Conference Hotel)
Price: $50.00

The Immunity to Change workshop is based on the groundbreaking work of Robert Kegan & Lisa Lahey and identifies why personal development is so difficult and how to identify and overcome the natural barriers therein.

Why is it that we often want to change, but find that we are unable to do so? Why is change so difficult even when everyone and everything is aligned around the goal? The reason is that most of us have a built-in immunity to change. This fast paced, energetic and transformational workshop will help participants better understand their own immunity to change.

Based on their research in adult development theory, Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey have developed an innovative teaching methodology and activity called Immunity to Change. This workshop is an awareness-building exercise that makes explicit that which is currently implicit. Immunity to Change helps participants better understand their competing commitments and truly begin to understand the motivation behind behavior and why change, with all of the best intentions, can be so difficult to master. Amazingly this session provides participants with the opportunity to “investigate, research, study, teach, practice, and implement the theories and strategies” behind Kegan & Lahey’s work.

Robert Kegan will guide participants through the Immunity to Change process, and participants will complete the “Immunity Map” which outlines some of the motivators behind commitments they hold. In the end, the map clearly outlines why certain behaviors do/do not occur, competing commitments held by participants and those “big assumptions” that drive behavior – assumptions that may limit personal change or block true leadership development.
