What to expect
What to expect
Lasting change takes a systemic approach. This course will provide you with a spectrum of approaches and practice opportunities to begin leading systemic change across your company or organization and chart a course for your future growth.
What You'll Learn
In this month-long virtual course, you’ll have the opportunity to learn, practice, and apply key systems leadership approaches to your work across weekly class sessions and practical application opportunities.
How You'll Learn
This course will be activity-based, with a mixture of mini-lecture, practical method application, and collaborative sessions. You’ll not only learn the concepts and principles, the why and how of systems leadership, you’ll also get to practice the methods in a safe space. We won’t just talk at you ; you’ll learn through doing, work with other participants, and get feedback. You will be asked to bring your current personal or professional examples of changes you want to make into the workshop, so you come away with a greater understanding and an action plan on how to change your system. There will be plenty of time for Q&A and opportunities to engage with your facilitators around the specifics of your change.

What People Are Saying
"I realized my entire role is facilitation. I have to do a lot of lateral influencing. So I use these skills even if it is not a super-structured workshop. Our product team has micro meetings all the time, and these methods help us get the most of those moments. My team can lean on me to facilitate. You will redesign the way you have conversations. I can’t believe every college student doesn’t have to take a class like this. This is how you collaborate. It is the underpinning of the future of work."
