Do you wish you had a network of positive change leaders you could learn from, grow with and be mentored and supported by, as you work to make change happen?

Perhaps you’ve:

• Struggled to win the buy-in of your stakeholders or win over your cynics, even when you’ve done everything right.
• Found that helping people to create truly meaningful change is challenging, even when you have a whole toolkit of positive psychology tools to draw upon.
• Discovered that gaining commitment rather than just compliance for change is difficult, even when you’ve been using the best organizational development or change management tools
• Uncovered that complex, adaptive systems like people, teams and organizations are messy and dynamic, no matter how much leaders try to control or manage them.
• Learned a bit about Appreciative Inquiry and realized you need more training to confidently leverage this powerful change approach, particularly on the psychology and neuroscience of this methodology.
  
• Realized that it’s lonely on the cutting edge of leading change, even when things aren’t going too badly.

Here’s the good news: after many, many requests to teach people both the theory and practice of creating positive changes that enables people, teams, and systems to thrive, we’ve done it.

It’s called the Certificate In Creating Positive Change.
