Welcome to interactive presentation, created with Publuu. Enjoy the reading!

to Your Change Growth Accelerator™

for Practitioners Learning Experience!

I’m glad you’re here, and I’m so excited to

support you on your journey to grow through

change!

Cheers,

I am thrilled you’ve made the choice to dive deeply into understanding how to

not only embrace the power of your emotion as a resource for growth

through change but also how to inspire the growth of others as they’re

experiencing their own change challenges.

This journal’s design is two-fold. First and foremost, it is a learning

supplement during your experience. The key word being supplement. The real

prize, the real juice of this learning experience, will manifest through your

engagement in the discussions and self-exploration. Stay open and curious

to learning something new about your colleagues. Stay open and curious to

learning something new about yourself.

Secondly, it provides space for continued learning and self-discovery as you

flex your change muscles after the experience, steadily increasing your

strength of resilience.

Once your signal emotions invite you into your opportunity to grow, it’s up

to you and the mentors, friends, colleagues, and family you invite to

participate to dimension that opportunity, exploring options to milk it for

all it has to offer.

Through the power of choice, you can transform growth-stalling emotion-

al energy into growth-sustaining fuel for growth and betterment. Through

the power of choice, you can own your growth through even your toughest

change challenges.

Exercising this MINDSET when experiencing change will build your resilience

muscle and help you see clearly that major change, disruption, or transforma-

tion happens for you. It serves your evolution to your best self.

The C.H.A.N.G.E. Traits®, which we will introduce later, comprise the

unique SKILLSET that will enable you to avoid pitfalls as you lead and

influence through change.

The growth-stalling emotions of change and disruption (fear, anxiety,

frustra- tion, grief, and anger) are gifts, a prized inheritance of our species.

We should not ignore or suppress them. They signal an invitation to grow

and evolve into your best self.

Change Enthusiasm®

is a three-step growth mindset.

The Signal

The Choice

The Opportunity

In the Left Brain column, write what you actually said or did in this past sce-

nario and how that affected the outcome in the long run.

Recall a past change situation when you were emotionally triggered or

faced a challenging scenario where you conserved or concealed your

emotions, and the outcome was less than optimal. This can be personal

or professional.

Write your inner dialogue during that moment in the Right Brain column.

What would you have said to yourself?

Identify the emotions you concealed or conserved.

What did you feel that you did not display to others?

The left brain is associated with logical and analytical thinking, while the

right brain is related to creativity and emotions. While the brain actually

works more as a connected network, we will use this common example to

highlight the impact of emotional suppression.

What do you notice about growth-sustaining emotions?

Emotions range from mild to intense. The closer to the center of the

wheel, the more intense. On this wheel, you see growth-sustaining

emotions on one side. On the other, you see growth-stalling emotions.

Exploring

Emotions

C.H.A.N.G.E. Traits® are skill-based options you have as a leader, no matter

where you sit in your team or organization, to grow and inspire through

change. Through our research and work with clients around the world, we

have discovered this skillset when embodied and practiced throughout the

organization, carries the power to boost higher employee engagement and

increase change adoption success. These are the human skills critical to

lead ourselves and others through change in a way that inspires growth,

fulfillment, and self-actualization.

The

Traits®

Once you have recognized your signal emotions

as invitations to an opportunity to grow and

embraced the signal emotions of others as

invitations to an opportunity to inspire, you are

ready to get about the business of exploring

options to maximize those opportunities.
