The 5i Change Agent Model
What change agent type are you?
Change Agent: (noun)
“Someone who alters human capability or organizational systems to achieve a higher degree of output or self actualization.
The goal of a change agent is to make changes that stick, enable people to do more, or find a new and better perspective on life.”
(Stevenson, 2008).
(Stevenson, 2008).
A science-based approach for advancing your work of helping others thrive.
The majority of our students who take part in our positive psychology programs are committed to making a true impact on the people they work with. But while the goals are the same, the ways in which individuals can apply positive psychology varies greatly based on how they work and view the world.
The 5i model was created to help change agents categorize their work style so that they can understand what they need to do to build a thriving career and put their positive psychology education in the practice. It’s not about what you call yourself, but how you work that matters.
Get your personalized roadmap
After taking the 5i Assessment you’ll receive your free Change Agent Roadmap that identifies the unique financial, mental and social obstacles your change agent type faces, and how to overcome these potential hurdles.

The new book from Lauren Zander
In this fast paced, snapchatting, twittering time, are you one of the last remaining readers?
You know, if given a good book (noun: a written or printed work consisting of pages glued or sewn together along one side and bound in covers) and a pen (noun: writing utensil), you’d go to town?
Then THIS is for you.
If you’ve ever been curious about life coaching, but were either too embarrassed, skeptical, and/or couldn’t afford the luxury of it, this book is the cheapest but deepest ten life-impacting coaching sessions you can get with Lauren Zander, creator of The Handel Method.
Not to mention, it’s funny, smart, and packs a figurative life-altering punch. If you’re willing to do the work in it (and there’s a shi(f)t ton!), your life will never be the same. We promise. And, if you know us or know of us, we take our promises (and yours) pretty darn seriously.
Lauren Handel Zander is the Co-Founder and Chairman of Handel Group®, an international corporate consulting and life coaching company. Her coaching methodology, The Handel Method®, is taught around the world, including at MIT and Stanford Graduate School of Business. She has spent nearly 20 years coaching thousands of private and corporate clients, including executives at Vogue, BASF, and AOL.

People say that kind of thing all the time… but this is the real deal. I can flat-out say I have never been happier, more fulfilled, or more certain and excited about the path ahead of me. Nor have I had more FUN! Lauren's method is a gift that is now available to everyone.
