Why Change is Difficult Change represents uncertainty- uncertainty is threatening and painful for a brain that wants to keep us safe and alive. We are afraid of the unknown Change takes time and effort Self-control and routine are tiring Afraid of failure/vulnerable Our response to change: Change (uncertainty) Threat response (fight or flight) Increased anxiety and fear Reduced ability to focus and think clearly Impaired performance and increased emotion Changing too many things at once The status quo is comfortable Unclear about the benefits of change The change is broad and vague Lack of purpose Lack of motivation
Treating Learning as a Lifelong Journey Cultivate a growth mindset: the belief that talents and abilities are not fixed but instead can be developed. Perpetual growth potential? Think of your previous setbacks, how did you respond to them? What have you learned from them?
Growth Mindset: Emotional Intelligence Self-Awareness The ability to recognize and understand your moods, emotional, and drives and their effect on others Self-Regulation The ability to control or redirect disruptive impulses and moods, propensity to suspend judgement, think before acting Motivation A passion to work for reasons that go beyond money or status, a propensity to pursue goals with energy and persistence Empathy The ability to understand the emotional makeup of the other people skill in treating people according to their emotional reactions Social Skill Proficiency in managing relationships and building networks, an ability to find common ground and build rapport Daniel Goleman
