The Radical Edge

Published by Kaplan

---

Being a part of lasting change in the world is really a matter of defining A) The “frame” that is that world, B) What – specifically – you want to change and C) How you are best suited to change it.

This exercise guides participants through the process of defining their world, identifying an opportunity or need for change, and thinking through their unique skill sets for addressing that change.

Exercise Overview

1 Lecture (10 minutes)   |   “The Framework”

A recap of the article, and brief discussion on setting parameters for trying new endeavors.

2 Solo Exercise (15 minutes)  |  “The Pragmatic Superhero”

When you want to create change, you need to define what that change looks like.  This exercise walks through defining “the world” in which the change needs to take place, and what it would look like after that change takes place.

3 Solo Exercise (15 minutes)   |   “Your Frequency”

Our values drive much of what we do and how we do it.  A “Frequency” is the summation of all our values; an umbrella under which we operate at all times.  We work towards defining our frequencies in this exercise.

4 Wrap Up (5 minutes)   |  “Tying it all Together”

Discussion on the previous exercises, the supporting article and how they work together to improve our ability to create positive change.
