In the third season of the Netflix series The Crown, Prince Philip meets with clergy attending a retreat at a newly-established “center of recovery and renewal” on the grounds of Windsor Castle. Dean Robin Woods is facilitating the retreat; I’m sure he expects the prince to give a word of welcome and encouragement. Maybe he hopes participants will be pleased by the mere presence of a prince.
Instead, Prince Phillip forthrightly rebukes the priests for all their navel-gazing and ruminating about their lives and ministries. He tells them that what they need is “Action!”.....The episode reminded me of something one of my clients said recently.

Upcoming Webinar:
Webinar: "Flopping, Floundering or Flourishing: Our Immunity to Change”
with Lawrence Peers, congregational consultant, leadership coach and a certified Immunity to Change ® facilitator
Wednesday, January 29, 2020, 2:00-3:15 pm Eastern
We aspire, set goals and make resolutions—and oftentimes, we discover that we are not able to follow through or sustain those changes. We are often not aware of what it is that is preventing the change that we seek for ourselves or for our organizations. In this introduction to Immunity to Change ® webinar you will be guided through a process of identifying a significant improvement goal and assessing what undermines moving forward on this goal. We will surface the Immunity to Change ® that once “visible” can help you find some new levers for moving forward. Based on the work of Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey of the Harvard School of Education, this Immunity to Change ® work can be a powerful process for breaking through on a particular goal and future goals you may have. Participants will be sent a worksheet to prepare for the webinar, so please register by January 22, 2019.
For those who want to go deeper, this is an introductions to a 3-session on-line course that will build upon the Immunity to Change® to include an exploration into other approaches to getting 'unstuck." for individuals, teams and organizations.
