With change a constant to excel in today’s workplace, the better you can get at effecting change, the more adaptable and successful you will be. Change management consulting experts have put together multiple models designed to help facilitate change. Regardless of which model you follow, here are two tips that can help you reach your goal.
- Readiness
Be sure you have the knowledge and the resources to make a lasting change. Articulate and imagine how the change will improve your life, personally or professionally. Commit to the goal with the understanding that it will take hard work and discipline over the long-term to achieve. You, after all, are in control.
- Relapse
Expect to experience a few setbacks before improvement occurs. These occur commonly so don’t beat yourself up over a relapse or two. You just need to review your motivations, resources, and progress in order to reaffirm your commitment to change and self-confidence in your abilities.
