MANAGING PERSONAL CHANGE Professional Development Series AGENDA • Introduction • Primary goals • Areas of growth 2 INTRODUCTION Change can bring out many emotions in people. We can react in the same way as people who are going through traumatic situations like a divorce or the death of a family member, or even a natural disaster. Elisabeth Kubler Rose introduced the "five stages of grief" in 1969. These stages are what we might experience when under a lot of stress. 3 The 5 Stages Denial - I feel fine. This is a human defense mechanism that prevents you from absorbing facts and information about the situation. This denial could be unconscious or conscious. 5 Anger - You might be angry at the situation. It's unfair!" You may be mad at yourself, others, or the entire world. It is common to feel embarrassed, ashamed, anxious, irritated or irritated. 6 Bargaining – This stage is when you look for other options. You might suggest that you "be just friends" if you're going through a divorce. If you're going through an illness, you might consider trying to negotiate for more time. You may feel the need to share your story with others and to try to find meaning in what has happened. 7 Depression - What's it all about? Who cares? You often isolate yourself from others when you are in a depression. You often feel exhausted and depressed. It is normal to feel sadness, regrets, fear, and uncertainty. 8 Acceptance - This is the stage where you accept that it's all going to be okay and you will get over it. This stage is where you accept the changes and come to terms. You explore new options and create new plans. 9 MEET OUR PROFESSIONAL TEAM Takuma Hayashi Mirjam Nilsson Flora Berggren Rajesh Santoshi Chief Executive Officer Chief Operations Officer VP Marketing 10 Accepting the Change People who embrace change often say that they accept the fact that nothing can be done and only worry about what they can do to make it better. Although it can be difficult to let go worrying, there is no reason to get stressed about things you cannot control. Do you ever find yourself lying awake at nights worrying about something? Can I do anything to reduce the chance of this happening? If so, you can put the matter aside. It is something that could happen or not but which you can ignore. This is crucial, so find something else to distract you instead. Be the change Individual change management refers to the understanding of how one individual makes a change. Individuals move along a predictable path through the process of change, whether they are at home, at work or in the community. One person can make a change by managing their own individual change. 11 Recognise the Change One thing at a time To achieve your goals, you must be able and willing to make personal changes in your life. This can be done by understanding the incentives and steps required to change your mental and behavioral patterns. 20XX You can only change one thing at a time if you are looking to make a significant impact on your life. It can lead to exhaustion and defeat if you try to change everything at once. You must identify why you want to change. Everyone wants to skip this step and give a quick answer. It is worth taking the time to think about it. People often pretend that a magic genie is offering the change they desire. They must first explain why they need and deserve this change. This allows them to clearly state to themselves why they are taking on the difficult task of changing. These reasons can be a great way to remind yourself of why you are sticking with your resolution when it is difficult to do so. 12 THANK YOU 13
