The Four(teen) Golden Rules of Successful Change
Today’s “Live Unstuck Coaching Moment” suggests that maybe the word “change” should be spelled with three A’s, not just one. These “A’s” would stand for Awareness, Attitude, and Actions. Additionally, there are four(teen) golden rules associated with these “A’s” — each of which contribute to successful change.

We Don’t Fear Change, We Fear BEING Changed!
Today’s “Live Unstuck Coaching Moment” is based on the realization that we don’t really fear change — instead we fear BEING changed without our involvement, or without our permission. The message for leaders? Recognize that change is a grieving process — and those that “need to” change will need to process through their grief. Also, encourage PARTICIPATION in the change process, and the outcome will far better, more positive and enduring as a result.

Try Asking “What If?” Instead of “What Now?”

But… In thinking this year, I’ve come up with three things — strange things — that I appreciate as well.
