Walter Ethan Lick Eagle
Bio
I founded Build the Change LLC to turn 15 years of innovation training and education practice with larger firms into 'done for you' products and services that teach you to change through their use. Instead of teaching leaders and teams to navigate ambiguity with slides and static frameworks, I dig into details. I've developed interventions through practical coaching and facilitation that people can actually use and apply immediately. Chesterton's Fence need not apply.
Drawing on engineering, design thinking, and real-world experience inside large organizations ( academia, national labs, government and corporate alike), I focus on improving how people make decisions, work together, and execute change. The goal isn’t 'more ideas', it’s finding the ones with real traction.
