    The Immunity to Change Map is an examination of our current actions, thoughts or behaviors that prevent us from developing into a better version of ourselves. This process is not a simple exercise in divulging our behavioral aspirations. The ITC map is an in-depth methodology that highlights several aspects of understanding the issues behind an individual’s lack of success in reaching developmental goals. Once the improvement goal has been established, it is important to identify the counterproductive behaviors that work against the goal.
