- develops and supports other people's talents
- is spontaneous, curious and compassionate
- creates stories to envision the future
This section explores key aspects of learning for a change. How does it come about ? How can it be developed ? Why does it not always work ?
Learning can no longer be seen simply as the aquisition of knowledge, skills and behaviours. Personal qualities such as intuition and energy are just as important. Learning and change are complimentary activities - you cannot have one without the other.
Change Learning involves:
- reflecting on personal actions with others
- vigorous questioning of purpose and benefits
- exploring the hidden and unquestioned aspects
- welcome conflict as an opportunity for learning
This section explores the process of Change Coaching. In a corporate environment this involves challenging managers/leaders to examine their day-to-day actions, the options open to them and what they can do that would make a difference.

- focuses on the management of promises
- engages in powerful and purposeful conversations
- focuses people's minds on results and solutions
- tackles negative thinking and other barriers to success
This part of the ChangeZone is about opening up new possibilities for understanding the nature of change by linking the natural forces of energy, harmony and self-organisation.

perspectives on change.
