Don’t Sit Still... 

 

...were words of feedback that one member of an audience shared after a presentation I co-delivered last Tuesday. Or rather for this individual, this was a ‘light bulb moment’ of realisation that to do as she had always done, was from that day, not going to be her method of choice moving forward.

Result!

During our presentation we shared our thinking around the concept of change. Change in the world. Change in the world of work. Change in how we run our businesses now and into the future. The idea of change presented a hush across the room. It fast became apparent that many people in our audience were fearful of change and what it meant to them, as individuals and in business.

Change - a scary word. A word that fills many with a sense of dread. Many ask: “Do I have to?”

Really? Why?

Embrace change instead of rejecting or being fearful of it. Complacency or sitting still, as was so aptly stated, does what? Nothing. Just because things have worked well in your business for a period of time does not necessarily mean they will continue. Doing the same thing, over and over, and expecting a different result achieves what? The same result.

Is it too hard to give change a ‘hug’?

Adopt a gentler approach. Integrate change at intervals. Let it evolve. Invite change in. Let change happen. Remove your limiting belief around fear. Shift your focus to the unlimited opportunities you can achieve.

But remember one thing…

Don’t sit still!
