C4 Tests Some of the big assumptions you may regard as true
6/2/2015 C4 Tests Some of the big assumptions you may regard as true It is clear how each of the assumptions, if taken as true, makes one or more C3 commitments inevitable The big assumptions make visible a bigger world that you have previously not allowed yourself to venture into until now Adapted from Immunity to Change – Kegan and Lahey, 2009

6/2/2015 A Bad Bargain When we overcome an immunity to change, we stop making what we have come to see is actually a bad bargain: our immune system has been giving us relief from anxiety while creating a false belief that many things are impossible for us to do – things that in fact are completely possible for us to do!
