Hello, how can we help you?

  • What is ChangeYourWorld.com?

    ChangeYourWorld.com is the platform for the Change Your World Movement! It all began with a book written by John C. Maxwell and Rob Hoskins, titled Change Your World, which serves as a guide for how anyone, anywhere can make a difference.

    ChangeYourWorld.com was created to help equip anyone willing to learn and live good values, value people, and collaborate with others. On the platform, users have access to our free values-based, people centric leadership development lessons, when joining Transformation Tables.

    As you journey through these lessons, you will gain a keen awareness of your values, deeper connections with those at your table, and resources to help you make a difference right where you are!

  • How is ChangeYourWorld.com connected to the Change Your World book by John C. Maxwell and Rob Hoskins?

    John C. Maxwell and Rob Hoskins share their decades of experience bringing transformation to communities in their book, Change Your World. They have positively impacted millions of lives over the past several decades. They use the book to distill the key principles necessary to bring about transformation. They talk about the value of values, collaboration, and strategy, and the content covered in the tables focuses on these key ingredients to transformation.

    We recommend reading Change Your World as the starting point to your journey; however, it is not required in order to start Transformation Tables!

  • What are Transformation Tables?

    Transformation Tables are values-based, people centric leadership lessons experienced in a group setting. We refer to these groups as "tables," and each table consists of 4-8 people who are led by a facilitator in roundtable discussion. Transformation Tables meet for one hour a week for an initial commitment of six weeks.

    Transformation Tables encourage self-reflection and application of your learnings. Each week you'll decide a specific, reasonable way to live out the lesson you've covered. The goal is to first gain a deeper understanding of your values, and second, to actively grow in those values! We call this "transformation." With this new growth, we hope you feel equipped to then help others experience transformation in their own lives!

    There are two phases of Transformation Tables: Values Tables and Action Tables. In Values Tables, you'll spend six weeks learning and applying six lessons on good values: Hope, Listening, Valuing Every Person, Integrity, Forgiveness, and Multiplication. After Values Tables, you'll have the opportunity to build on the foundation of good values with lessons focused on learning to intentionally take action with others.

  • Is there a cost to join Transformation Tables?

    No! Transformation Tables are completely free! This platform was created to make these tables accessible to anyone, anywhere, who wants to make a difference! Our goal is to equip and inspire others to be the transformation they want to see. Anyone wanting to start Transformation Tables needs only to go to ChangeYourWorld.com, create an account with us, and start a table in order to access the values-based, people centric leadership lessons.

  • What does being a facilitator mean and what can I expect as I start to lead Transformation Tables as a facilitator?

    The facilitator plays an important role in Transformation Tables. Facilitators model the process, encourage participants, and set up the logistics.

    • Facilitators lead tables as volunteers and are not paid.
    • Facilitators commit to using ChangeYourWorld.com to create tables and invite participants to join them at the table. A facilitator invites each member to the group and supports those participants in registering, joining the table, and completing the table within the platform.
    • All users must complete Transformation Tables Phase 1, known as Values Tables, before moving on to Phase 2, Action Tables.
    • Facilitators can lead multiple groups at one time; however, we recommend no more than 3 tables simultaneously. A facilitator can also be a participant in one table while facilitating another, but a user can only be a participant in one table at a time.
    • Facilitators and participants alike can invite others to join them at the table.

    Please refer to the Facilitator Guide or reach out to Support for more information.

  • What can I expect as a participant in Transformation Tables and may I invite friends to participate?

    Participants are expected to commit to one hour per week for six weeks of Transformation Tables.
    Participants will be expected to take a pre-assessment before downloading Lesson 1 with Transformation Tables.
    Participants sign into their accounts with ChangeYourWorld.com each week to download the lesson in preparation for each week.
    Participants are expected to engage either in person or with cameras on virtually, reading portions of the lesson, and following the example of the facilitator to participate in sharing during Transformation Tables. Participants also will be expected to complete a post-assessment after the six weeks are completed.

    Absolutely! If you have a friend you'd like to invite, check with your facilitator to be sure there is room at the table.

    If you have a group of people you'd like to take through Transformation Tables, you can become a facilitator and invite them to be participants in your private table.

    If you are joining a table as a participant and there is an open spot in your group, you can invite a friend to join you. If you need help adding someone to your table, just reach out to our Community Manager at Support anytime.
    See our FAQ on What to expect as a facilitator for more questions about leading Transformation Tables.

  • What is the difference between the assessment on the landing page and the assessment in the table? What do the results for my assessments mean? Why do I have to take an assessment?

    The assessment found at the top of your table is required after registering and joining a table, before downloading lessons. This assessment is designed to be shorter to allow participants to get through the registration process and into a table more quickly. However, all participants are welcome to take the longer assessment found on the landing page, if so desired, and their answers will be brought into the system and connected to their profile.

    * We apologize, but currently the longer assessment on our landing page is only available in English.

    Please reach out to Support for more information on how we score assessments.

  • What if I am not able to attend Transformation Tables at the time I originally agreed to join, need to leave my group, OR want to join a different group?

    Please let your facilitator know ASAP if you are unable to attend Transformation Tables for at least 4 out of the 6 weeks. Your facilitator can invite you to his/her next Transformation Tables. Or you can choose to take facilitator training to start your own Transformation Tables when you are ready.

    When you log into your account, you can choose to Leave the Table. However, if you leave your group, you will not be able to log into the table afterward. We ask that you please be mindful of the group that has already come together around a table.

    Our CYW Community Manager is available at Support for further assistance.

  • Why did my participants not show up on my table after I entered their email addresses into the table registration form?

    After creating a Transformation Tables group and submitting your participants' emails into our website, please encourage your participants to look for an email from changeyourworld and to click on the SPECIAL UNIQUE Registration Link within the body of that email in order to connect to your table. Once they click on the unique code, they will be brought to the registration page at changeyourworld.com where they will need to create a new account if they have not done so already. Once they have created an account, a participant's name will show up on your dashboard in your table.

    This special Registration Code is a one-click unique code with a 24-hour expiration. Please use your Facilitator Tools within the table by clicking on the ellipsis above the participants' box to "Invite Others" and re-enter your participants' email addresses in order to give them a new code and get them connected to your table. You can find more information in our Facilitator's Circle HERE. You can always share the Support link with participants if they have further questions about registration: www.changeyourworld.com/en/contact.

  • What are Action Tables?

    Action Tables are Phase 2 of Transformation Tables. They are designed to help participants move from good intentions to good actions while being collaborative and strategic. They follow the same format as Value Tables - a facilitator leads the group for one hour per week for six weeks. Action Tables start with a pre-assessment and end with a post-assessment. Completing six weeks of Value Tables followed by six weeks of Action Tables unlocks the Action Center where users are encouraged to review the tools and resources available to continue on their journey of transformation with another Action Step, creating an Action Plan.

  • What is the Action Center? What is an Action Plan and how do I create an Action Plan and use the toolbox?

    We are inviting you to enter our Action Center upon completion of six weeks of Value Tables and six weeks of Action Tables. You will have the opportunity to create your own Action Plan detailing what you want to do to change your world in your home, neighborhood, community, or workplace. Your plan should include your desired outcome, the necessary action steps, and a timeline.

    Download the Action Plan template of your choice. Review the resources in the toolbox to inspire you and help you to see how others have taken action to bring transformation and change their worlds.

    The toolbox has been designed to help people learn a proven process for creating powerful, positive change. Tools, case studies, action plans, templates, and opportunities for next level coaching will be available in the Action Center.

    Our CYW Community Manager is available at Support for further assistance.

  • Why do I have to go through two phases of Transformation Tables to get to the toolbox in the Action Center?

    Values are the principles that guide our decisions and behaviors. They are foundational to living out positive actions. We can see examples all around us of leaders that fall short because many leaders are not grounded in good values. Value Tables provide a foundation of good values, as well as an opportunity to experience personal transformation before trying to bring transformation to others. Action Tables are the key to learning how to take good actions. Many people have good intentions and some even take action, but without intentionality the action may not be smart or strategic. Participation in the Action Tables introduces a process that will lead to good actions.

    After completing two phases of Transformation Tables, we strongly believe you will be better prepared to use the resources available in the Action Center as you continue on your journey of Transformation.

  • Is ChangeYourWorld.com a faith-based movement? Where can I learn more about Beyond Success, John C. Maxwell's faith-based values curriculum?

    ChangeYourWorld.com is not a faith-based movement, although people of all faiths are invited to join us! John C. Maxwell and Rob Hoskins are convinced of one thing: "Transformation is possible for anyone willing to learn and live good values, value people, and collaborate with others to create a positive values culture." You can change your world.

    EQUIP Leadership, Inc., has a faith-based initiative called Beyond Success. If you are interested, you can learn more about this program at https://www.iequip.org!

  • Can I lead CYW Transformation Tables with youth? Where can I learn more about iLead, John C. Maxwell's values-based youth curriculum?

    We recommend Transformation Tables be with participants 18 and over for security purposes. 

    However, the John Maxwell Leadership Foundation has created a values-based youth curriculum called iLead. Head to https://www.jmlf.org/ilead/ to learn more! If you don’t find the answer to a specific question, feel free to message us at Support or send us an email at info@jmlf.org.

  • May I translate the CYW Transformation Tables lessons into another language and/or distribute the lessons via email?

    ChangeYourWorld.com has made Transformation Tables available to people who can understand English, Spanish, Romanian, and Polish. Unfortunately, we cannot legally allow people to translate the lessons into another language.

    We would also like to request that you do not distribute the Transformation Tables lessons via email. Each participant is encouraged to create an account with us to join the table. Each participant, once in a table, is asked to please sign in each week to access and download the lesson for that week. Facilitators are encouraged to support participants in getting registered with us at ChangeYourWorld.com in order to access the lessons.

    Please reach out to us at Support if you have any further questions about translation.

  • Do the people in my group have my contact information?

    The facilitator has the participants' email addresses to be able to coordinate details, but contact information is not shared with the group as a whole.

  • How do I report a concern?

    Please click here to send a message to our CYW Team atSupport or click on the Support button from your dashboard. You can send an email to CYW-CommunityManager-US@johnmaxwell.com to report a more critical concern.
