WHAT DO WE KNOW ABOUT CHANGE?

We are all going to experience change this year. How we respond to those changes can often dramatically affect the outcome. 

 

Changes can be viewed in many ways: Negative, positive, dreadful, stressful, joyful, hopeful, or transformational.

  6. New supervisor
  7. Additional responsibilities
