RE: Professional Development Opportunity

I would like request approval to take the Intro to 7 Forces of Transformation online course with instructor MJ Reiners of Summerland Education.   MJ has successfully led large-scale transformations for over 22 years and is now providing high-quality education to Change Leaders online. If you would like more information on her philosophy and vision, see the attached flyer.

“Specific kinds of practice can accelerate skill development. I have designed strategies and tools to get Change Leaders into deep practice to learn faster, achieve better results, with less cost, pain and stress.” MJ Reiners

The 7 Forces Intro course is designed for Change Leaders to learn practical tools that develop essential change skills to get results better, faster and cheaper.  The course includes short, powerful videos and creative thinking exercises to practice my vision skills, cause and effect analysis, and discernment skills and more.  In addition, I will be able to influence and connect compassionately with our stakeholders, so they move with us to successfully reach our Project X goals.

Cost: The only cost is registration! No travel is necessary.

This course requires completion of exercises online at my own pace. It includes 7 modules that will me take about 30 hours to complete.  If approved, a completion certificate is available for me to request reimbursement after I have completed the curriculum requirements.

Please take a look at the attached flyer and let me know if I have your approval to register. To ensure this benefits the larger team, I’d love to share what I learned by giving a brief presentation to our team after completion.

Looking forward to discussing this further! Thank you for your consideration.

Sincerely,
[your name]
