- FTI: The Change Agent | how to flourishLink visible for attendees
On the paradoxical nature of chronic human problems, freedom and ethics
The Change Agent (TCA) paradigm describes and explains the etiology of chronic human problems. TCA, an online transformational program, teaches the paradigm and related skills for preventing, mitigating and solving chronic problems that resist conventional methods and interventions.
The TCA Promise:
Each participant will experience greater human flourishing, i.e. freedom, meaning and growth, in their work and/or personal life, to the extent they understand and apply TCA. Each participant is required to identify at least one chronic business or personal problem to which they will apply TCA during the course of the program.Each standard cohort meets 1-hour per week for approximately 12-16 weeks depending on the size of the cohort and level of participant engagement. One standard cohort begins each month. The duration and number of sessions are customizable upon request. Of the 75+ TCA graduates, over 95% report experiencing greater freedom, meaning and growth in their work and/or life, as a result of participating in TCA.
