Stage 1 · For coaches & facilitators
Facilitator's Workshop
Three days — and you leave able to guide individuals through their own Immunity to Change™ Maps in a group or workshop setting.
What this is
For facilitators and OD practitioners who work with groups.
The ITC Facilitator's Workshop is for practitioners who facilitate ITC work in group and workshop settings — where individuals each work through their own Immunity to Change™ Map in a cohort context. Workshops, leadership programs, team offsites, organizational development work: these are the settings this program prepares you for. If your primary context is one-on-one coaching, ITC for 1:1 Coaching: Maps and Tests is the program for that.
Over three intensive days, you'll work through the full map-making process — as facilitator, as participant, and as observer. You'll leave with the practical skills to guide groups through the complete ITC Map process from the moment you get back to your work.
It is also one of two prerequisites for the Coach Certification Program (alongside ITC for 1:1 Coaching: Maps and Tests) — the path to full certification in Immunity to Change™.

What you'll learn
Practical skills, not just conceptual fluency.
The full Immunity to Change™ Map
The complete four-column process, end to end — from naming a goal through surfacing behaviors, uncovering competing commitments, and exposing the big assumption underneath.
Running the process with a group
How to introduce the map-making process to a room of people who haven't encountered it before — setting the context, pacing the work, and keeping the group moving together.
Managing group dynamics
What changes when people do this work alongside each other — how to use peer feedback productively, hold space for different paces, and work with what surfaces in the room.
Working with the big assumption
The most delicate part of the map — how to help someone name an assumption they've never articulated, and why it's protective rather than irrational.
Designing group experiments
How to help a group design safe-to-fail experiments and debrief what they reveal — keeping the learning collective, not just individual.
Integrating ITC into your facilitation practice
How to bring ITC into workshops, leadership programs, and organizational development work — when to introduce it, how to frame it, and what to do when it surfaces more than you expected.
Who it's for
Anyone whose work involves facilitating change with groups — professionally.
The workshop draws OD practitioners, HR professionals, team facilitators, and leadership developers from across sectors. What they share is a professional role that involves facilitating change in groups — and a sense that ITC offers something more rigorous than most change frameworks they've encountered.
If you work primarily in one-on-one coaching, ITC for 1:1 Coaching: Maps and Tests is the program designed for that context.
- —Organizational development consultants and practitioners
- —Internal coaches and HR practitioners who run group programs
- —Leadership development facilitators
- —Team facilitators and trainers
- —Educators working with adult learners in group settings
- —Anyone whose work involves guiding groups through change

Common questions
Choosing the right program
What's the difference between the ITC Facilitator's Workshop and ITC for 1:1 Coaching: Maps and Tests?+
The ITC Facilitator's Workshop is for group and workshop settings — running the Immunity to Change™ process with multiple participants at once. ITC for 1:1 Coaching: Maps and Tests is for individual coaching relationships. They're parallel programs for different professional contexts, not sequential ones. If you do both kinds of work, you may eventually want both.
Do I need to have experienced ITC myself before facilitating it for others?+
It helps, and many participants have gone through the Change Course before coming to the workshop. But it isn't required. The workshop is designed to work for people who haven't experienced ITC firsthand — you'll work through the map as a participant during the three days, so the personal experience is built in.
Do I need to have read the book?+
No. The books are a valuable resource, but the workshop is a practical, skills-based program that doesn't assume prior reading. If you have read Immunity to Change™ or An Everyone Culture, you'll find the workshop puts those concepts to work in ways the books can't.
