The Inevitability of Change

Many of us have a love/hate relationship with change.  We would like  things to get better, however, we do not embrace change easily.  I realized after the 10th anniversary of The Joy of Connecting,  it was time for a change.  Call it a face lift.  Call it a renaissance.  Identify it as ‘keeping up with the times.’ 

However I decided to describe it, I was willing to face major changes.  Would those familiar with my brand accept an updated version?  Would I fall in love with the new model having raised the previous one?  Would the input, focus groups and feedback I had requested guide me toward the direction I needed to go?  For me, this represented a huge decision.  As I did my research, collaborated with others and ultimately approved major changes, I became empowered.  The shift in my energy was dramatic.  My enthusiasm expanded.  I found myself in the throws of creativity and anticipation.  I wonder if you can identify with this process.  Perhaps you also recognize you have to make changes in business or, perhaps, in your personal life.  You are standing on the edge of a decision and wonder if leaving the security of the known is worth the insecurity of the unknown. I get it.  We all endure change.  Some changes are of our own choosing.  Some changes are out of our control.  Just know that everything is changing every day. 

Subtle though it may be, we are all facing change.  Having been through this experience, it is my belief that creating change and embracing the growth and opportunities that follow are  filled with possibilities.  How will you know what possibilities lay ahead  if you are unwilling to risk being open minded to change because you are  stuck?  Curious about the changes to our program? Visit TheJOYofConnecting.com on April 15th.  I’m confident you’ll share my enthusiasm.
