Abstract: A medical study showed that when doctors tell their seriously ill heart patients that they will die if they do not make changes to their lifestyle, only one in seven patients is able to make a change. Crazy!
According to Harvard professors, Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey, people do not resist change. Even when people are genuinely committed to change, they subconsciously apply effort toward a hidden competing commitment. The result is a stalled effort, which looks like a resistance to change. It is like shoveling sand against the tide. In this workshop, I want to demonstrate the power of the Immunity to Change framework developed by Kegan and Lahey and share my practical experience overcoming the immunity when implementing Agile.
Learning Outcomes: - • Learn more about psychology of coaching
- • Understand the Immunity to Change framework
- • Apply motivation theory in the workplace
- • Practice the Immunity to Change framework
- • Learn practical coaching behaviors: open-ended inquiry, reflections, listening as part of the workshop exercise
