  • Royce Holladay, HSDP, will serve as the faculty for this cohort. Royce has worked with the HSD Institute since its inception, contributing to more than half of the HSDP Certification courses that have been offered. She has served as the leader in 5 other cohorts.
    
    With Glenda Eoyang, she co-authored Adaptive Action: Leveraging Uncertainty in Your Organization. She has also teamed with other HSD Associates to co-author a number of other books about HSD:
    • Influencing Patterns for Change: A Human Systems Dynamics Primer for Leaders (with Kristine Quade)
    • Dynamical Leadership: Building Adaptive Capacity for Uncertain Times (with Kristine Quade)
    • Simple Rules: Radical Inquiry into Self (with Mallary Tytel)

    • Adaptive Action Coaching: Building Patterns of Success (with Lecia Grossman)
    • Deep Learning Ecologies: An Invitation to Complex Teaching and Learning (with Leslie Patterson)

We recognize that this is a short turn-around time for applying. We also know that many individuals have said they are interested in becoming certified, but they are unable to commit to the travel and 5 days of face-to-face time that is required in the other HSDP cohorts. We want to offer this opportunity this spring and summer as an alternative format. We’d love for you to join us, if you can!
