Shownotes
In this episode, we're talking about the often overlooked difference between change and transition. We're drawing on the wisdom of William Bridges, whose work has been a guiding light for over a decade, especially during times of organizational upheaval like acquisition or restructuring, and equally relevant in our personal lives.
As we navigate the terrain of fresh starts and letting go, whether it's adapting to new work routines, moving to a new home, or even grieving, we'll explore the three stages of transition according to Bridges: letting go, the neutral zone, and new beginnings. Join me as we unpack these phases, share insights from my own experiences and clients, and offer strategies for leading through change with empathy and understanding.
Whether you're adjusting to a new role, grappling with organizational changes, or finding your footing in a new living space, this conversation is meant to validate your feelings and equip you with knowledge to move forward with confidence.
In this episode we share:
- My own personal transition
- Organizational changes faced by my clients
- Commonality of change in everyone's life
- Introduction to William Bridges' work on change and transition
- Differentiation between change (event) and transition (psychological reorientation)
