IN-BETWEEN

It's time to change the way we think about change.

Change is the new constant.  It's the only thing that's actually here to stay.

The difficult thing about change isn't the 'before' or the 'after' stage.  Usually people are fine before the change -- and frankly, once the change has been fully navigated, they're typically fine afterwards.  The tough part is the 'in-between.'

The most effective thing we can do is make sure to communicate the "WHY" of change.

Probably one of the best ways to understand when others are dealing difficultly with change is to put yourself in those places when it's been difficult for you.  Ask yourself why you had such a hard time with it.  Then it will be easier to be sympathetic toward those bucking the changes you're trying to make.

And be blessed.
