This is an old class! Check out the current classes, or sign up for our mailing list to see if we'll offer this one again.

Are you ready to make some change?  Come with a problem or project you want to tackle (like save money, exercise more, eat healthier, meditate) and you’ll leave with a plan of action.  We’ll harness the tools of improvement science and action research to uncover the moments where your problem rears its head and then construct a plan to change it. 

This is a workshop so be prepared to think hard (drink some coffee!) and talk to strangers! It’s gonna be awesome.
