TED Conferences’ Post

Change is an an universal law which everyone has to accept…

Change is imminent, but necessary to grow to who you are within.

Take a few minutes to listen to this inspiring speech about change

Change is inevitable.

How to turn an accident into possibilities....

What a great reminder! While change is the portal to renewal and growth, it can also be scary. Especially big, unexpected change that feels like a curveball. This kind of change usually forces us to reconsider what might have been carefully laid plans. And while this kind of change also automatically creates a potential for transformation, access to this transformation only opens up when we let go of whatever mindset or emotional state the situation is asking us to release. This is the meaning of surrender. Often, what we need to surrender relates to how we have defined or identified ourselves. Whether we have anchored our identity in what we do (e.g., our profession or role), who we are in relation to others (e.g., significant other, parent, senior leader) or some other aspect of ourselves or our lives (e.g., physical capacity), letting go of a component of our self-identity, can be a real challenge. This is particularly the case when a change was unexpected or relates to something meaningful to us. My own experience is that the opportunity inherent in every curveball is proportionate to the difficulty of responding to the curveball. Sometimes I’ve struggled mightily before I could surrender to the transformation being offered, but I’ve consistently found that once I stop arguing with reality, life offers me the opportunity to become something more than I was before. In the full version of the TED Talk, which I’ve linked below, three questions are suggested to help establish a vision for the positive potential a change can unlock: ✳️ How might this change, change what I’m capable of? ✳️ How might this change, change what I value? ✳️ How might this change, change how I define myself? These questions and others like them, are great way to help us reframe a change so we can shift our relationship to it. And in terms of unlocking the potential for transformation, that’s what it’s all about. 👏👏👏 What are your tools for unlocking the positive potential inherent in change? I’d love to hear.

In theory, as an HR or L&D professional, you'd think you'd be pretty good at self-development, especially when you find yourself in uncertain and unknown territory. You know all the theory, models and techniques to manage yourself and others through change and transition. So, in theory, getting to grips with your new role in this new structure should be a breeze for you. So why does it feel more like a whirlwind? Because in practice you're caught up in the tornado. The chaos. It isn't just theory, it's become your new reality. Because, in reality, the road ahead is unknown and unclear. The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing anymore. In the real world, you've been swept off your feet and aren't sure which way is up, or how to steady yourself gust after gust after gust. You've had the wind sucked out of you and can't catch your breath. Not in theory. Not just a metaphor. For real. You can't think straight, you've lost your courage, and your heart feels pretty battered and bruised. And you just want to find your way back home, to yourself, to knowing where you stand, to solid ground and familiarity. There's no place like home.
