Change Agents Intensive with Tim Kelley

Many change agents unintentionally adopt an internal stance that robs them of their ability to effect change. In fact, limiting beliefs about wielding power are among the biggest obstacles that change agents face!

In this first, four-part module, you’ll identify your internal blocks to gathering and using the power you need to change the world, and learn how successful change agents use power in effective, high-integrity ways.

Part 1: Getting Permission to Transform
Part 2: The Four Paths
Part 3 : Exercising Power and Authority
Part 4: Healing Your Core Wound

In this module you will learn:

• How to have a healthy relationship to power
• How to exercise power in the world and be effective
• How to to have the impact you want to have through your work

(Tip: Try saying “I wield great power” out loud. If any part of you has a negative reaction, you know you need this one! Good luck changing the world without any power….)

Positioning and selling yourself as an agent of change or a messenger can be a tricky thing. Many of the traditional labels that people use to gain credibility may not apply to you, and the labels that do apply may not reflect who you want to be. Explaining who you are and why you are qualified to create change usually brings up all of your unresolved self-esteem issues. This effect is most pronounced when it comes to setting your fees and asking for money from clients and donors!

You may have some material to clean up around money and self-esteem before you can earn a living changing the world and manifesting your purpose. (Traditional positive and negative reactions to money are traps for change agents.) In this second module, in addition to exploring the internal issues around this, you will also craft a bio that presents you in light of the difference you are here to make!

Part 1: Presenting Yourself When It Matters
Part 2: Resolving Your Issues with Money
Part 3: What Should I Charge?

In this module you will:

• Deepen your understanding and awareness of your relationship to money
• Learn to identify your limiting beliefs about money
• Recognize and address limits you have around charging for your services
• Recognize how those limits interfere with having the impact you desire in the world.

Most change agents never get beyond a single-person company (if they get that far). As business evolves toward the new paradigm, there is a growing set of options available to you to structure and fund the organization that will be the instrument of your purpose.

In this section, you’ll learn about these different structures and how you can use them to set up the perfect system for changing the world. Also, we will learn about different ways of raising funds from political and public benefit strategist Rich Tafel, who advises companies, nonprofits and government leaders on leadership and funding.

Though working with clients one-on-one can be fulfilling, it can be limiting, both in terms of impact and finances. Making global change requires that you impact organizations and systems — not just individuals. Also, consulting to organizations can generate much more money for your life and your change efforts than coaching, speaking and leading workshops.

In this Module, you’ll learn how skilled change agents engage organizations and larger systems to create transformation. We’ll also explore how power and leadership will work in a post-hierarchical world… which is extremely cool!

Part 2: Effective Collaboration (Part 2)

This module will open up many options and doors for you. In order for it to be more than an inspiring memory, you will need to construct a plan for moving forward. Precisely which of the things you’ve learned will you implement, and how? What internal work do you still need to do before engaging in inspired action in the world? You know you are called… How will you answer?

In this module you will:

• participate in a Change Agents Intensive concluding ritual
• complete your Manifestation plan
• create your own inner and outer To Do lists to move you forward
