A NEW APPROACH!

More and more I am hearing how busy people are - and your feedback indicates to me that you find the information included in "Let's Talk..." to be helpful and of value to you. So, I want to make it easy for you to fit "Let's Talk..." into your busy life and make sure that you have time to read it! As a result, I am actually going to reduce the amount of information in each issue so that it will be a quick and easy read for you - let me know what you think!

OPENING THOUGHT 

 
"Resistance is one of the most common responses to change and can be one of the most challenging to overcome."
 
 
 
FOOD FOR THOUGHT: Responding to Change

Change is a normal, natural and inevitable part of life. You cannot prevent it nor can you avoid it. The issue is not whether or not there will be change - that is pretty much a given. The real question is whether you will choose to be a change victim or a change manager.

Here are some steps that you can take in order to respond effectively to change in your personal or professional life:

bullet

Find quiet times and stable places to give yourself a break from the chaos that often surrounds change;

bullet

Consider what you will be losing and what you stand to gain from the change;

bullet

Create a plan to acquire the knowledge and skills that you will need to effectively deal with the change;

bullet

Identify both short and long-term objectives associated with the changes that you are facing; and

bullet

Commit to experimenting with your life.
