The fall season signifies many changes in our daily
routines and spirits. Those lazy, hazy, fun days of
summer are over, and people are back in their fast-
paced modes of school, life and work. For some,
renewed energy and focus take place. For others,
frustration and negativity are the norm.
Which path are you choosing to take? Which one will
bring you greater results and fulfillment?
The key to most effectively deal with change is
to first acknowledge what you are losing and leaving
behind, not the fear of the unknown which most
people think. If you deal with the losses then deal
with the unknowns, you will embrace your change,
feel the power and grow.
Staying worried, confused and afraid of the
unknowns, will leave you paralyzed, complacent and
accepting of the status quo. Accepting the status
quo gives people and companies the opportunity to
fall behind. You need to find courage, to face your
fears, to move forward, to feel the power and to
grow.
It is well known that every organization and every
individual must have change to survive and prosper.
Change at work improves processes and increases a
competitive advantage. Change in our personal
world expands our opportunities to be honestly happy
and to live a really great life.
When you decide to resist change, you become
complacent and will most likely lag behind. When you
decide to embrace change, you become productive
with an incredible lively spirit.
How to Embrace Change:
- Acknowledge what is no longer is going to
happen. What are you losing?
- List the consequences if you do not embrace the
change?
- List your realistic and unrealistic fears.
- List what will actuallly be different after the
change takes place.
- Brainstorm and choose the best course of action,
feel the power and grow.
The next time you experience change, put it in
perspective: change in the workplace is not a matter
of life and death.
FALL FORWARD NOT BEHIND!
