Agent of Change in Your Circle of Influence - New course begins Wednesday, July 28!
If you are excited about being part of the shift to a more sustainable community, this course is for you! Identify a change you'd like to help make happen in your workplace, faith community, child's school, neighborhood, or even your family, then begin to plan and implement it with a supportive group of people.
This six-session class covers the theory, practice, and tools of a change agent working within a chosen circle of influence. Each participant will select one circle of influence, develop a strategy and plan for change, and take steps of early implementation, in consultation with other members in the class. This class is appropriate for individuals who are just starting out or those already deep in the process of creating changes to protect the Earth.
Specific topics covered include:
- Theories and strategies for cultural change; key role of the circle of influence.
- Mindset of the agent of change; clarifying your vision.
- Understanding your circle of influence; first steps to effect change.
