The purpose of this course is to provide participants with a step-by-step approach to understanding and reshaping their personal and professional habits. 

Discussions on leading change typically focus on the external: other individuals, other teams, outside processes. Yet one of the most powerful change leadership strategies is the internally directed approach of deccoding, mapping, and reengineering one's personal habits. The process of leading internal change can then be applied to leading external change for teams and projects.
