Robert Kegan, PhD, instructor. Dubbed "one of Harvard's most entertaining professors" by The London Times and "everyone's favorite developmental psychologist" by Ken Wilber, Robert Kegan has spent a lifetime studying adult development-and what we do to prevent it. He and Harvard colleague Lisa Lahey are credited with uncovering a hidden mechanism that keeps people from making exactly those changes they most want to see in themselves. In this fast-moving, interactive,and experiential session, Kegan will help each of us to see our own "immunity to change," and their approach to helping people overcome it, which has now attracted the interest of coaches on every continent. This experiential program has been conducted with CEOs and the CIA; K-12 and university educators and administrators; bankers and firefighters; software engineers and management students; psychologists, psychiatrists, executive coaches and human resource officers; government leaders, international business consultants, state judges, church leaders,attorneys, journalists and physicians. Participants should come expecting to have a good time while doing some hard and valuable introspective work. The process Kegan and Lahey have built emphasizes safety in the process of personal discovery. Participants are encouraged to set the pace that works best for them throughout the session.
