Adam Kahane’s latest book – Everyday Habits for Transforming Systems – is a must-read for anyone who is called to make the world a better place for all in today’s increasingly turbulent world. Grounded in the practice of radical engagement, Kahane distills seven potent habits that enable ordinary citizens to become extraordinary agents of transformation.
Join Adam for a conversation that dives deeply into the simple practices that can transform the most intractable issues – climate change, equity, health care – into opportunities to make the impossible possible. Build your ability to see through the complexity to discover simple actions you can take within organizations and broader social systems to transform polarized perspectives into opportunities to reimagine and co-create positive change. A critical aspect of this book also includes advice for you, the changemaker, on your role and inner journey by offering strategies to care for yourself and persevere in the face of inevitable setbacks.
Don't just survive in a changing world—step in to transform it. In our increasingly complex and dynamic world, “the need to work with more people from across more divides, both within organizations and larger social systems”
We want this webinar to be an opportunity to move beyond an introductory conversation about the 7 habits for transforming systems and rather create space to dive more deeply into them. To do this, we would like to request that you come to this webinar having already read the book in advance. The book will be released on April 8, 2025, and can be pre-ordered now using this link.
