Ways for Embracing Change

Change is difficult even for people who enjoy change. Many change initiatives fail because education and buy-in are not in place.

Ways to get others to embrace change:

Show them the “why” before the “how”
Use persuasion instead of force
Speak their language. Use words and terms that speak to their specific style
Speak to their auditory/visual style (pictures, text, conversations)
Show them what’s in it for them (WIIFM)
Engage them in the process
Always be honest

Ways to nurture “self” when faced with change:

Accept change as a part of life
Build simple changes into your life
Develop and nurture support relationships in your life (both work and home)
Live a balanced life to offset the negative impact of sudden change
Change your thinking

Either we manage change or it will manage us.

Remember…

”Change is good, you go first.”
Dilbert
