In this teleseminar, host Marilyn Schlitz talks with Harvard Professors Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey about their new book “Immunity to Change: How to Overcome It and Unlock the Potential in Yourself and Your Organization.” Robert and Lisa lead the listeners through an exercise to identify goals, contradictions and bigger assumptions. The results show that we often don’t accomplish our goals because we have one foot on the gas and one on the brake. They use the analogy of an immune system protecting our bodies but sometimes fighting off something that seems foreign (like a transplanted organ) that we really want. Goals which require a change in behavior can result in “shoveling sand against the tide” as our unconscious tries to protect us from change. Becoming aware of the competing commitments or contradictory intentions can lead us through the incremental process to make real changes in our lives.
