Change Compass

Influence through Spaces (NWI05)


Description
The context to which we usually pay the least attention has a surprising amount of influence. The buildings that we live and work in exert influence on us from the moment we enter them but, like all contexts, we rarely notice the impact. Is your workplace supporting you on your journey, or fighting back against the changes you’re trying to deploy?

This course is designed for professionals and senior employees with the ability to shape working environments to more effectively land wellness and change programs.

At the end of this course, you will have an understanding of what it takes to change the physical environment to help people adopt new healthier and high-performing habits. You will have learned some of the more useful influence methods employed successfully by others to create change, from nudge thinking to distance antagonists. You will have practiced application of these skills in the real world.
