Core Content Areas
Taking the Barriers Down Participants learn the four core types of barriers in the context of a compelling story and how dismantling them effectively, rather than trying to go around them, is a path to success for the heroes of the story.
Gaining Support Armed with the examples from the story, participants examine their own initiatives in light of the need for support from others.

Each participant pairs with another to provide mutual support, advice and feedback for securing buy-in and implementing their initiatives both during and after the session.
