Making Changes: Starting with Doing One Thing Different (Alumni Webinar Series)

Date: October 8, 2025
Time: 1:00 pm until 2:00 pm

Location: Virtual Venue (Online)

Change doesn’t require a complete overhaul—it begins with one thing. In this powerful and practical webinar, we’ll explore how real transformation starts at the personal level through small, intentional shifts. Drawing on insights from George Leonard’s concept of mastery and solution-focused psychology, we’ll challenge the myth of quick fixes and instead embrace meaningful, sustainable change. Through guided reflection and a seven-step strategy process, participants will examine the habits, mindsets, and emotional patterns that keep them stuck—and leave with one specific action they can take to begin moving forward.

Key takeaways include:

  • Why true growth happens on the plateau, not the mountaintop
  • How to break out of reactive patterns by doing just one thing differently
  • Seven practical steps to reframe problems and take emotionally intelligent action
  • How to navigate resistance and discomfort as natural signs of authentic growth
