Have you noticed that just about everyone you talk to is going through a change, challenge or growth cycle? There are many ideas about why we are accelerating in this process. Im here, however, to help you understand the growth process. Often when you understand a process, you can relax and have more fun with the change you are experiencing. Remember, as a leader in your organization, it is the individual who is also changing. The individual's willingness or reluctance to embrace changes in the company has a huge impact. It's important for leaders to understand the individual change process so that you can help steward this process more easily and effectively. Let's take a look at what the individual is experiencing. Take a look at yourself too, because you are not immune to this process either. SOMETHING IS MISSING
This is the fear, doldrums or out of sync phase. You know something is wrong/missing, you know you want to change or must change, yet youre not completely committed. As you begin your first baby steps you feel incompetent and anxious. You are in unfamiliar territory. This phase takes a lot of self kindness, encouragement and deep breathing. REFLECTION & COMMITMENT
This phase is where you really reflect on what you want in your life. As you reflect, you realize some things are perfect the way they are and other areas need change. You become committed to both the change and the process. You develop patience, encouragement and joy. TAKE OFF & GAINING ALTITUDE
This stage is a bit easier. You know your direction; you know the basics or blueprint of what you are doing. This stage requires a lot of conscious focus on the new developments in your life. You begin to enjoy the new areas of your life. You still may have times of anxiety or uncertainty, but you feel more stable. You have glimmers of excitement about the changes you are making. SOARING OR FLOW
This is the fun part. You are now in the new you phase. You no longer have to concentrate so hard on all the details. The changes begin to flow and you are reaching new levels of accomplishment and sense of yourself. SUCCESS COACHING makes the change process enjoyable and sustainable.
