What Is Minds At Work ®

What We Do

MINDS AT WORK® helps individuals, teams, and organizations make those personal and collective changes that are most important to them-- but have proven resistant even to thoughtful plans and heartfelt intentions. We bring our method to our public workshops, organizational consultation, customized programming, personal coaching and coach-certification programs.

What makes us distinctive is that all of our services are built on 30 years of research and innovation at Harvard University by our two founding partners, Robert Kegan and Lisa Lahey. Bob and Lisa are responsible for two major breakthroughs that are influencing leadership learning, personal growth, professional development, and organizational improvement around the world. First, they conducted the original research on the development of adult mindsets. Their theory and books have led to new understandings of the possibilities for continued growth and development in adulthood.

Building on this work, they then discovered the hidden mechanism which prevents people from making the changes that are most important to them. This discovery and the tools they have developed to overcome these barriers, including the acclaimed Immunity-to-Change™ approach, has revolutionized the practice of personal and organizational change. Organizations and businesses throughout the world make use of these ideas and practices. And everything we do at Minds at Work is based on these findings and innovations. Many professional service organizations also make use of these ideas and practices; we created them.
