If you are a licensed trainer, (attended a TTT workshop,) once you've registered and received a confirmation message, go immediately to the GROUP to the left titled Leading Bold Change Licensed Trainer Forum. You'll have to request an invitation, and then get an acceptance. Fred will get to this as soon as possible but it may take up to 24 hours after registering.

Hi everyone, this is Fred. You may know me as the curious penguin from the book, Our Iceberg is Melting by John Kotter and Holger Rathgeber.

I'll be your guide here on these forums. This opening page to the LBC community forum is public. Feel free to provide anyone with the link to get here. If you are a guest here, please feel free to peruse this page and the information on it. If you are interested in learning more, you can request to be allowed access to the Workshop Participant Group pages. After registering, someone in the colony will assess your request and get back to you within 48 hours.

There are two sub-area Groups set up for workshop participants and for certified trainers. Please select your Group from the options on the left represented by the two thumbnail images and wander around. You may have received a specific invitation to one of the forums, or you may have received something more general. There are prerequisites to have access to these Groups.

Basically, if you've attended a workshop or speech, you'll be granted access to the LBC Workshop Participant Forum. If you have attended a Train the Trainer session and are now licensed, you'll be granted permission to the LBC Licensed Trainer Forum and the entire site. Click on the links to request access.

The site is broken up into several areas including the two Group sub-areas mentioned above. On top of the page is your main navigation. To the left, below the Groups links, you'll find a list of members and our storehouse of photos and videos. You can watch these, and / or contribute your own. To the right you'll find an events listing. Click on those for more details.

Below, we've included links to a couple of videos that are useful for explaining John Kotter's work in change management and the LBC Training itself. And finally I've created Fred's Blog. Here you can follow me around the world as I use the story of my penguin colony to help corporations, communities, NGOs, and nations how to be successful at managing change. ENJOY!

Fred, (that's me,) should always be fairly close by if you need help.

Click here to see a short teaser from Dr. Kotter's new video on change management, Succeeding in a Changing World. We often use this within the Leading Bold Change workshops as a reference.
