Stop the change resistance with (a) movement.
What if change ain't a problem?
Navigating others (and yourself) through change can feel both exhilarating and overwhelming.
Especially when we encounter the dreaded resistance.
But what if we flip RESISTANCE – as a movement away from treating change as a problem to embracing it as the life-giving force it actually is?
Join our FREE taster experience on Thursday, 31 October, from 2:00 – 3:15 pm CET.
It’s the way to:
- Get people on board with change without mandating it.
- Scale transformation – without losing coherence.
- Shift your own and others’ relationship with change, particularly regarding transition processes, to become more change-resilient.
Here's the thing
Change isn’t going away.
We don’t need better tools to manage it; we need an embodied understanding of the true life-giving nature of change and transition.
And, better ways to enable ourselves and those we need to influence to find their way through discomfort.
Here’s what we believe you’re looking for:
- A grounded and embodied understanding of change, transition, and transformation. How they’re different and how to become better at navigating ourselves and others through these processes.
- The skills and practices to navigate complexity and the uncertainty of continuous change yourself, in order to better support those you lead or influence.
- A scaffolding that moves beyond linear change theories, encouraging a new relationship with the unknown, small steps, constant momentum and continuous learning.
- Meta-skills for mental agility, empowering you to make informed decisions amid complexity and uncertainty.
- A new language to shift change and transformation conversations.
This requires a new kind of agility— trusting your intuitive ability to learn and adapt as you go, so you can bring others along.
Our upcoming 6-week cohort, Embodied WaysFinding, invites you into a felt sense of navigating complexity and uncertainty—the part that often goes beyond what we can intellectually grasp.
Transforming the knowledge and skills you’ve already obtained so far into an embodied knowing—a comfort with uncertainty that naturally attracts people to NOTICE, TRUST, and FOLLOW you.
Calling on all:
- Change agents working within for-profit organisations—Heads of Innovation, Heads of Culture, Heads of Wellness, Heads of Digital Transformation, Heads of Inclusivity, and Heads of Team Effectiveness etc.
- Consultants, coaches, and facilitators supporting organisations through change.
- Non-profit change agents passionate about change but feeling depleted (we’re giving away up to 5 fully paid bursaries for our upcoming journey).
Our container is experiential, occasionally uncomfortable, sparking collisions, surprises, insights and changes.
Our process and the WaysFinder approach cultivate a new kind of expertise for navigating & leading others through change:
Learning, adapting, and building confidence as you go, while deepening your skills in leading and navigating the complex issues you’re facing with others.
Our guarantee?
Life is change, and change is going to happen—with or without us!
But if you’re with us, we’ll show you how to make it easier, more alive, and yes…even a little fun.
