Every New Beginning


I attended a satellite training seminar this week on managing change, and although these steps are meant for managing teams, I though they were so apropos for managing change in our life.

1. Every new beginning starts with something else ending.

2. It is important to define what is ending.

3. Understand who is losing what.

4. Anticipate resistance and anticipate grieving.

5. Treat the past with respect

6. Be empathetic to those who stand to lose something

  2. I too needed to read this today. I'm struggling a bit with my purpose and with new beginnings. It's so hard to let go of the comfortable and the known! Taking a leap of faith, even when I know the universe won't let me fall, is still so tough. It's so good to know other peace warriors are beating similar drums.
