WELCOME
If you are visiting this page, you are likely both concerned by the significant challenges humanity is facing now at the end of modern civilization and also inspired by the extraordinary innovations that are constantly emerging.
This Global Change Agent video series, as well as the 6-month program described below the videos on this page, is geared for people who believe, as Alan Kay noted, "The best way to predict the future is to invent it."
To effect large-scale change you need a map and the right vehicle.
The purpose of this video series, and especially the 6-month learning laboratory described later on this page, is to equip global change agents with the strategies, tactics and tools they need to help their communities and broader society transition from "Game A" (degenerative, exclusive, hierarchical monocapitalism) to "Game B" (regenerative, inclusive, developmental multicapitalism) and do this elegantly, mindfully, strategically, compassionately, effectively and efficiently, with skill and precision.
THE FOCUS OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO HELP CHANGE AGENTS OBTAIN THE MAPS, TOOLS & SKILLS THEY NEED TO AFFECT LARGE-SCALE CHANGE
THIS PROGRAM IS FOR CHANGE AGENTS, LEADERS, ENTREPRENEURS AND TEACHERS
- Change agents who feel called, as Gandhi put it, to "be part of the change they want to see in the world."
- Leaders who are aware of the global transition that is underway, and you are bringing your leadership to contribute to humanity's attempt to make the "momentous leap" that Clare Graves described.
-
Individuals who who are concerned, and who want to learn more nuance about the threats and opportunities that this global transition is bringing with each passing month, quarter and year
-
Leaders, entrepreneurs, teachers and healers who want more robust, powerful tools to add to their "change agent tool kit"
-
Thinkers who have read any of Dr. Robin Lincoln Wood's eight groundbreaking books (and found his maps and models valuable) and want to implement his ideas
-
Practitioners and students of integral theory or integral leadership who want to leverage their knowledge and skills to help their organizations and communities survive this great transition and thrive in the new society that is currently emerging

THE BENEFITS OF THIS PROGRAM
- DETAILED MAPS & FRAMEWORK Your leadership, your career, your projects, your ventures, and all the people and organizations you support will benefit from the nuanced, detailed maps you will learn in this program
- GROUNDBREAKING THEORIES You will apply complexity theory, integral theory and systems thinking to your projects and your organization immediately in a concrete, pragmatic useful way
-
GLOBALLY RENOWNED MENTORSHIP You will receive mentoring from integral leadership pioneers Robin Wood and Brett Thomas as you expand your meta-systemic understanding and your change agent leadership skills
-
STRATEGIC & TACTICAL TOOLS You will receive more than a dozen ground-breaking tools you can use to help you analyze situations and stakeholders, develop integrally-informed, well rounded strategies, prioritize tactics and initiatives based on effort and impact, implement and manage multidimensional projects with diverse stakeholders and work streams, and then measure and evaluate outcomes of your change efforts to inform next steps and next initiatives. If you like (or love tools), you are going to love this program.
-
MEANINGFUL COLLABORATIVE RELATIONSHIPS You will develop close working relationships and friendships with other like-minded change agents, the facilitators and coaches, and many of the VIP guest speakers within our private Facebook Group. These new relationships will become extremely valuable on your learning journey as well as becoming a support system for your unfolding projects and initiatives. These new relationships will likely be worth much more than the cost of the program tuition.
THE FOCUS OF THIS PROGRAM IS TO HELP CHANGE AGENTS OBTAIN THE MAPS, TOOLS & SKILLS THEY NEED TO AFFECT LARGE-SCALE CHANGE
The program is designed to help you develop and enhance your own skills in leading, facilitating, and designing change and transformation in your own life and work.
The simple, bite-sized models will help you recognize the complex patterns in the world around you. Being able to recognize and respond to such complex patterns with appropriate strategies and moves will enable you to convert “VUCA” (Volatility, Uncertainty, Complexity, and Ambiguity) into "SPSC" (Stability, Predictability, Simplicity, and Clarity)... at least some of the time!
Transformation can be easy or hard, simple or complex – it all depends on the maps, models, and perspectives you apply. Thus, you can arrive at simplicity on the other side of complexity.
It’s all about timing, tipping points, acupuncture points, and sweet spots. Finding the right spot by diagnosing the context precisely enough to know where the energy for a shift is, and how to liberate it in beneficial ways. Many “natural” leaders do this intuitively, but they are the rare exception. And their talents and skills are hard to transfer to those who are still learning the ropes. Most of us need to learn the hard way, through trial and error. Until now.
In the Global Change Agent Program, we will become reflexive practitioners of the art and science of re-patterning and co-creating an uncertain future. We go through a deeper appreciation of the qualities inherent in the future potential of the present moment. This is key to embracing uncertainty in a complex world. We will find constructive ways to collaborate with others who are ready to chart our collective path. It's both an art and science to create a surprising future, while taking seriously our co-creative agency to affect that future.

MINDBLINDNESS
Learn to Shape Your Own and Other's Constructed Reality
Delve into the process by which the human mind becomes "construct aware."
As integral leaders, we'll gain an accurate understanding of how people become experientially blind to things for which they lack constructs. And how we can work with these cognitive blindspots by manipulating our brain’s simulations to deliberately shape our perceptions.
Use concepts, emotions, and mental models effectively to shape our own and others' socially constructed reality. Acquire new practices and tools to assist you in surfing emotional waves as a key to conscious evolution. Use integral models to explore and discover the future of our interiors.

In order to build a new society on the other side of this transition, we must lay the groundwork for a multi-capital approach.
We must first recognize how we got into this mess in the first place, during the "age of rising abundance" and the emergence of global neoliberal capitalism between 1945 and 2021. Examine the dynamics of the evolution of our planetary civilization, and the ensuing banquet of consequences. Comprehend the seven fatal flaws in the global neo-liberal capitalism model that is collapsing.
As the system continues to degrade and eventually collapse, there will be numerous environmental and social costs that we can anticipate and avoid. We'll ensure that you have a thorough understanding of the seven current global challenges and how we can design a holistic response that is woven into the fabric of our emerging global systems.

HOW THE PROGRAM works
WEEKLY LIVE TRAINING
SESSIONS ON ZOOM
We will select a 1.5 hour weekly time slot that works for all participant's to meet on Zoom. In these sessions, Dr. Robin Lincoln Wood will introduce new concepts and tools, and the facilitators will guide you through processes to help you implement what you are learning in your context using action learning methods. You will be inspired by meeting other change agents with their own projects, leadership challenges and opportunities, and ventures.The facilitators and coaches will review your work (from previous sessions) and offer you feedback, answer your questions and assist you in implementation.
Guest Presenters with expertise & experience

CHANGE AGENT TOOLS AND INTERACTIVE TEMPLATES
The change agent techniques you are learning come with tools and templates to make it easy and fast to begin to implement what you are learning with your situation and circumstances, and the people you are influencing and supporting. The worksheets, templates, and examples make it easy to implement the strategies and tactics described in the live instruction session and in the self-paced video tutorials. These tools and templates will save you hundreds of hours that would be wasted in trial-and-error if you were only learning from books or trying to do this in a self-taught way.
Easy-to-UNDERSTAND
Video Tutorials
Each key concept, practice and tool comes with a clear, detailed, easy-to-follow video tutorial that walks you through how to understand and apply the lesson to your specific situation. Theses "micro learning" video tutorials are fast-moving (averaging about 10 mins each). You can watch the self-paced tutorials anytime, anywhere. They look as good on a computer, tablet, phone or streamed to your HDTV. After you watch each tutorial, you use the tools, templates and worksheets, then bring your work along with your questions to the live training and coaching calls for feedback and collaboration.

Brett Thomas' Integral Leadership Program has been running concurrently for 22 years. Thousands of CEOs and C-Suite Executives in mid-size and large firms have graduated from this legendary program with over $30,000,000 in total registrations to date. Brett has created several versions of the program, including versions used by his non-profit to train government, military, civic, tribal and religious leaders around the globe.
For the first time, Brett is offering a "teal" version of his Integral Leadership Program. This new, "no-holds barred" version of the program — named the Integral Leadership Course (ILC) to differentiate it from the one still running, will be designed for "second-tier" leaders with meta-systemic cognition and what can be described as "Teal / Turquoise" worldviews. Post pilot, this will be a $5,000 instructor led course.
If your application is accepted into the Global Change Agent Program, you will receive full tuition credit ($3,000 value) in the new version of the legendary Integral Leadership Program. The program will be offered twice a year, starting in Q2 of 2023.

What Other Leaders Have to Say About the Facilitators and Their Previous Programs...
Robin Wood is a close approximation to a Renaissance Man of the 21st Century. His book, The Trouble with Paradise, recounts international travels, education, work experience, and encounters with folks like Don Beck and Ken Wilber. The troubles are familiar to all of us: climate change, the oligarchic dominance of societies, conflict and war among those anchored in the past and those seeking an improved future (while both use technology to destroy and create). Robin shows us that there are opportunities for immediate application to address the troubles in paradise. They can be found in biology, medicine and longevity; understanding consciousness and the mind; demystifying paranormal phenomena; human flourishing through spirituality and activism; integral models of development; education and innovation; and embedding “Thrivability” through green economics. Robin, thanks for your work.
Dr. Russ Volckmann, Founder, Integral Leadership Review
Robin is a rare person with enormous energy and creativity. He was one of the 'rock stars' of the dot.com boom and added substance to Ernst & Young's practice in this critical area of consulting and wealth creation.

Robin is one of the most visionary and inspiring leaders it has ever been my pleasure to work with. He has excellent abilities to motivate others with the big picture, ultimate purpose whilst keeping attention on the pragmatic next steps to take. This helps all stretch up towards their potential and highest common aspirations.

Robin, has always been one step ahead of the curve. His understanding of people, cultures and profit ensure he's always adding value. I first had the pleasure from learning from Robin whilst he was at E&Y. Each and every project worked on has been a delight and you can easily see why CEO's around the world want his insights and advice.

Robin is one of the brightest and energetic people I know. He has an encyclopedic knowledge of many different subjects, a finger in many pies, a modern polymath and man of affairs combined. Whatever you do with him, you will come out the richer for it.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will the weekly live Zoom sessions work for my calendar in my international time zone?
We will use a scheduling tool to have all cohort members indicate which slots they can make and then we will select a time slot (one hour weekly) that everyone can make. This one weekly Zoom call is the only mandatory hour for your schedule. The rest of the program work, including all assignments, are self-paced and scheduled by you. You can also schedule to meet with peers or opt in to other work groups as you desire and as your schedule permits. The 10 guest presentations are scheduled at the convenience of each guest (in their home time zone). You can elect to attend those live if your schedule permits, and you can also watch the recorded replay.
Will I be able to get individualized feedback on my projects and situation and personalized coaching?
Absolutely. While this is the equivalent of a graduate level class or course, it is also designed to be a laboratory and a kind of "think tank" where leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists, activists, and project managers can work with their peers as well as have a lot of individualized input from the faculty and staff. We also have 10 guest speakers who are subject matter experts (and experienced global change agents) to supplement your learning and give you additional mentoring opportunities to learn from people who "have done it" or are currently "doing it."
About how much time each week will I need to allocate to be successful in this 6-month program?
You can telescope the amount of time you invest. The minimum amount of time to complete this program successfully is 2 hours a week. That is one 1-hour group session on Zoom and one hour of self-paced learning assignments which include watching video tutorials, reading handouts and articles, and working with tools / templates / worksheets on your change agent project(s). If you have more than two hours a week to invest, you can dive deeper into the core (provided) learning materials and additional (recommended) books and articles, and you can elect to participate in small-group gatherings including affinity groups who are collaborating on specific projects together. A person who's schedule permits and is highly engaged may invest 3-5 hours a week. Again, you can complete the program successfully in two-hours a week. It is a 24 week (6-month) program which gives plenty of time to digest and apply what you are learning. If you have to miss an occasional Zoom session or assignment, that will not prevent you from completing the program successfully.
How theoretical is this program? The description mentions a lot of theories and frameworks. How practical and useful will it be in my work?
Great question. Theories are incredibly useful, as are maps. But to ensure that humans can flourish on this planet, or even have a habitable planet (in 30 years) we need much more than theories and maps. We need guides and mentors who have experience using those maps and those tools to create the kinds of changes we want to create in our projects, organizations and communities. Further, we need a platform or a "vehicle" that will help us come together across time zones, cultures and continents and co-create new solutions that don't exist today. What got is here won't get us there. The two lead facilitators Robin Wood and Brett Thomas are both quite familiar with theories and maps, but their reputation is based on the impact they have had on organizations, and the impact the organizations they have supported are having in the world. They are pragmatists, entrepreneurs, activists, change makers. This program is about making change happen locally, regionally, nationally and globally.... and doing it in a highly intelligent, effective, leveraged and impactful way. While the frameworks are useful to understand why the tools work and how they work, this program is ultimately about rolling up our sleeves and getting to work. We don't have decades for trial and error. We need to get most of this right the first time. The clock is ticking. Therefore, we need to know how to do the right work, with the right people, with the right timing, in the right way. That is what this program will help you with.
