Thinking differently isn't enough
We all want change to feel better
Apprehension, worry, nervousness, panic, anxiety. Feeling various forms of fear is completely normal during change.
Yet if we ignore that fear, we're more likely to create change resistance.
And less likely to feel more of what we want: gratitude, curiosity, confidence, appreciation, joy, and feeling valued and respected. These emotions are present in successful change adoption.
Emotions in all forms and intensity levels WILL happen during change. They're a human response to uncertainty and volatility. But many change approaches de-emphasize feelings. They're unpredictable, chaotic, and unnecessary to get the work done. Right?
Wrong.
Emotions influence behaviors. This principle is used throughout performance motivation, behavior science, positive psychology, and marketing, to name a few. You experience it daily when you use apps, including social media.
It's time to put that principle to use within organizations during change.
Better is possible. I help you think and feel differently about change.
