Successfully Embracing Change

Successful leaders who thrive during challenging times consistently demonstrate flexibility and a willingness to move their business in a new direction when necessary. However, before you can lead your team through an effective transition, it is important to assess your own obstacles to transformation and personal growth. When is the last time you challenged yourself to consider a shift in your career path?

Perhaps you have been at your current company for years and lately find yourself frustrated and unhappy. You are contemplating a change, but feel overwhelmed at the thought and have been avoiding the decision. Or possibly you have been offered a new internal career opportunity and along with excitement, you feel dread, discomfort and anxiety about the impending changes. Or as an owner you recognize the need to downsize or restructure your business, but have been reluctant to do so.

Why is it so difficult to commit to changes in our life, especially if we know how positive it will be for our personal and professional success?
