Program Overview

|
This immersive Change Management course is designed for leaders and professionals seeking to drive sustainable organizational transformation using John Kotter’s renowned 8-Step Process for Leading Change. Grounded in the principles from Our Iceberg is Melting and The Heart of Change Field Guide, you’ll learn how to build urgency, align the right people around a shared vision, and create the conditions where change can take hold—especially when priorities shift and resistance shows up.
You’ll leave with practical tools and a clear, repeatable approach for leading change with confidence. Along the way, you’ll strengthen your ability to communicate for real understanding and buy-in, empower others to act, remove barriers, and keep momentum going through visible wins and sustained progress—so change doesn’t just start strong, but actually sticks.
COURSE FORMAT: This fully online program includes weekly Zoom sessions, with independent work required beforehand to ensure active, informed participation.
