Coaching in Workshops

The Immunity-to-Change™ approach can be delivered through workshops ranging from one half-day session to several workshops over several months.

The half-day session can be presented as a stand-alone workshop or part of a conference. Participants can be provided with a pre-work exercise to prepare them for the session.

When workshops are presented over several sessions one structure is to have sessions approximately two weeks apart. Within this case:

1. The first session usually focuses on completion of the four-column Immunity Map, an interactive exercise through which each participant identifies the assumptions and self-protective personal commitments that undermine his or her leadership goal.
2. The second session focuses on refining participants' four-column maps and introducing them to a Self-Observation exercise (identifying situations where the self-protecting assumptions appear in their lives) and a Continuum of Progress exercise (envisioning short-term, medium-term and long-term success).
3. The third session focuses on debriefing the Self-Observation and Continuum of Progress exercises, as well as introducing a biography exercise (tracing participant's assumptions back to their origins).
4. The fourth session focuses on identifying appropriate tests of participants' self-protective assumptions (these tests are intended to evaluate the validity of the assumptions). Participants run the tests in between the fourth and fifth sessions.
5. During the fifth and final Immunity-to-Change™ coaching session, participants analyse their results and the insights derived from running the tests.
